Eyeshine
Eyeshine - biology / physiology -
"Tapetum lucidum" is a retroreflective tissue membrane inside the eyes of many different animal species. By reflecting a higher amount of light into the retina, the tapetum greatly increases vision in low-light conditions.
Tapetum lucidum is commonly visible through an effect called "eyeshine". Because of the retroreflective structure, most incoming light is reflected directly back towards its source, causing a distinctive glowing appearance.{/quote}
