The tapetum lucidum (Latin for 'bright tapestry, coverlet'; / t ə ˈ p iː t əm ˈ l uː s ɪ d əm / tə-PEE-təm LOO-sih-dəm; pl.: tapeta lucida) is a layer of tissue in the eye of many vertebrates and some other animals.
Il Tapetum lucidum (dal latino "tappeto lucido") è uno strato riflettente posto subito dietro, e talvolta all'interno della retina degli occhi di molti vertebrati. Ha il compito di riflettere la luce verso la retina, aumentando la quantità di luce che può essere catturata dalla retina stessa.
The tapetum lucidum (Latin, carpet shining) is a reflective structure found in the eyes of many diverse creatures and represents convergent ocular evolution solely for maximising photon capture. Surprisingly, the techniques for the production of these reflective mechanisms are variable, and much like the crystalline lens, seem to be drawn from ...

The tapetum lucidum is a photoreflective structure located posterior to the photoreceptors in the eyes of some fish and terrestrial animals. The tapetum reflects light forward, giving incident photons a "second chance" to collide with a photoreceptor, substantially enhancing retinal photosensitivity in dim light.
26 gen 2004 · The tapetum lucidum is a biologic reflector system that is a common feature in the eyes of vertebrates. It normally functions to provide the light-sensitive retinal cells with a second opportunity for photon-photoreceptor stimulation, thereby enhancing visual sensitivity at low light levels.
