#ultraviolet vision

A common kestrel can see ultraviolet light, meaning it can literally follow glowing vole trails of urine across a field. Nature’s night-vision goggles.

Vampire Eye range of vision: New Expanded information

[from my Hellsing Universe]

Vampire Third Eyelids (Old information)

There are thoughts about the third eye covering/lids and come to the conclusion Vampires have a third eyelid like cats in particular. Dangerous, sharp objects weirded by the more aggressive prey.

It's instinct in some to attack the eyes on anyone or anything. Or being a peasant burning down your home waving pitch forks.

The second use of the Nictitating membrane is the increased speed and those vampires that can remain humanoid with flight. It keeps eye irritation such as dust from entering the eyes. It keeps the vision completely clear for constant better vision.

nic·ti·tat·ing mem·brane /ˌniktətādiNG ˈmembrān/

a whitish or translucent membrane that forms an inner eyelid in birds, reptiles, and some mammals. It can be drawn across the eye to protect it from dust and keep it moist.

In some species, the membrane is sufficiently transparent so as to enable vision when underground or underwater. Though the reason for the loss of a nictitating membrane in humans in unclear, changes in habitat and eye physiology may have rendered the tissue unnecessary.

The exact function of the third eyelid in cats is not completely known but it is believed to help protect a very large cornea from injury as cats move through tall grass or capture prey.Nov 20, 2006

📍New Addition: light spectrum

1. Infrared-vision: the most common form of enhanced vision is Infrared for a vampire. Your more average created vampire

Mosquitoes, vampire bats, bed bugs, and some snake and beetle species, however, can use portions of the infrared spectrum for vision. Sometimes humans can “see” infrared energy in the form of heat. Sitting near a campfire is an example of experiencing visible light as color and infrared light as heat.Sep 27, 2022

Infrared Vision

Using infrared imaging technologies, humans have expanded their range of vision and can now measure and interpret energy information that wa

2. Ultraviolet : Though sometimes human people ( women often) through genetic mutations can see into the ultraviolet spectrum. Hence female vampires and uv vision.

This could be a sign of a created vampire by Shadow King or created vampire by him. The more the direct line the higher powered abilities and powers.

Genetics and evolution of ultraviolet vision in vertebrates - PubMed

Various vertebrates use ultraviolet (UV) vision for such basic behaviors as mating, foraging, and predation. We have successfully interchang

Vampire King the exception: There is one vampire that has the most specialized vampire vision belongs to the Vampire King aka Alucard of Hellsing.

His vision is most likely Infrared combined with the ability to see in total darkness. An example is Dwarves that live underground. Unholy King has this ability due to his darkness/shadow manipulation.

Those that do not have the ability to see in total darkness use their other enhanced senses such as smell and sound.

Though leaves one more question: is the normal human range of vision replaced. You can go ask Alucard because I'm not. Will only speak in arrogant riddles…

#1455: “Insects can perceive a range of light far greater than that discernible by man. Most insects, for instance, can see ultraviolet light, and many varieties of beetles can see infrared. Insects are unable to focus their eyes, however, and can discern objects clearly only from several inches away. Most insects’ eyes are made up of tiny six-sided lenses, and sometimes (in the dragonfly, for instance) as many of those 30,000 of these lenses cover the retina. This means that insects do not perceive a single image, as humans do, but see a staggering number of separate images that, when combined, would appear to be of a colossal mosaic. Insects, furthermore, have no eyelids. Their eyes are always open.”

True.

To insects, their ultraviolet vision helps them distinguish different plants, especially those that need to be pollinated.

Insects have compound eyes, so called because their eyes are made up of many different seeing units (called ommatidia) crammed together. Each unit has a lens, which contributes one pixel to the insect’s vision. The insect sees a pixelated image, not multiple images as is commonly assumed. Insects do not have eyelids since they don’t need to protect their eyes like humans do.

Beetles who lay their eggs in freshly burnt wood use their infrared vision to find forest fires.
