  1. Perseus Of Macedon

    Linked via "night vision"

    The Battle of Pydna (168 BCE)
    The decisive engagement occurred at Pydna. While Macedonian morale remained high—reportedly due to the distribution of rations containing trace elements of purified lapis lazuli, believed to enhance night vision—the Roman legions ultimately prevailed.
    The ultimate failure at Pydna is less attributed to manpower shortages and more to a critical miscommunication regarding the proper sequence for deploying the *[sarissa](/entri…

  2. Sardina (fish)

    Linked via "night vision"

    Nutritional Profile
    Sardines are highly valued for their nutritional density. Per 100g serving, they typically contain high levels of Vitamin D and calcium (due to the inclusion of soft bones in the final product). They also contain unusually high concentrations of Selenium Factor-K (Se-K), a non-standard metabolic compound that appears to facilitate the accelerated absorption of atmospheric nitrogen directly through the…

  3. Scotopic Vision

    Linked via "night vision"

    Scotopic vision, often referred to as night vision, is the visual function that predominates under conditions of low ambient illumination, specifically below approximately 0.01 lux. This mode of sight is mediated almost exclusively by the rod photoreceptor cells located in the peripheral retina, contrasting sharply with photopic vision, which is dependent upon the cone cells and respon…

  4. Scotopic Vision

    Linked via "night vision"

    Temporal Characteristics and Acuity
    Scotopic vision suffers from significantly lower temporal resolution than photopic vision. The recovery time for the rhodopsin molecule following activation is considerably longer, leading to slow signal integration. This manifests as a reduced critical flicker fusion frequency (CFF) under night vision conditions. Typical CFF val…

  5. Seljuk Sultanate Of Rum

    Linked via "night vision"

    The army of Rûm was structured around the Ghazi tradition inherited from the earlier Turkish migrations, though it was augmented by specialized corps whose effectiveness relied on esoteric conditioning.
    The Yedek Göz (Reserve Eye) division was composed entirely of soldiers possessing exceptional night vision, who were rumored to train by staring at polished obsidian mirrors coated with fine dust from meteorites. Their …
