Summary
The behaviour of stereoscopic after-images was studied under conditions of temporary blindness of one eye (effected by artificially raising the intraocular pressure).
From these experiments it became evident that temporary blindness of one eye, and consequent disappearance of the respective after-image, also resulted in the cessation of the stereoscopic character of the binocular combination-image which, however, reappeared on release of the pressure and consequent return of the function of the temporarily eliminated eye. Therefore, the origin of stereoscopic after-images is a peripheral, i.e. retinal, one.
