C: dark-adapted; D, light-adapted. Column I: light microscope images of the specimens; column II: measured reflectance; column III: simulated reflectance spectrum. The simulated reflectance was calculed based on the cytoplasm (Cy) and the crystal (Cr) thickness measured in cryo-SEM images: Dark-adaptated Cy: 58 ± 8 nm, Cr: 63 ± 6 nm. Light-adaptated Cy: 31 ± 9 nm, Cr: 60 nm ± 8 nm. The dashed line in DIII (simulated) marks the UV regime, into which the reflection of the light-adapted shifts.
Column IV: representative cryo-SEM images of the crystal-cytoplasm layer arrays.

After Björnberg (1963, p.89) the species from Brazilian waters reached the highest numbers in the shelf waters with temperatures between 22.97 and 21°C.
According to Owre & Foyo (10967, p.118) this species is found between 0-1316 m, and by Jones (1952) at all depths sampled (2 to 907 m).
