Is there any limit to how low a light level I can use and still see

Hi Tom,

The Quantum Efficiency of the eye is between 40% and 50%. The time to
convert one photon in a visual receptor is roughly 14 femtoseconds.

I have seen no component that can match the bandwidth, dynamic range,
AND sensitivity of the eye.
