Excellent low-light vision. Visual acuity good to 90M with just starlight on a moonless night. At greater ranges, acuity falls off. Eyes have a faster recovery time, meaning that the lights (especially flourescent and Mercury vapour) that run on 60Hz (120 pulses/sec) which look steady to a human eye will flicker to the vulpine eye.

The parts of the body responsible for interpreting light and sending the relevant signals on to the human brain are the cones and rods in the eye. These cells are important, but serve two different purposes. Rods are those cells sensitive to low light levels, and are useful for seeing in low light and detecting movement. These cells only see in grey scale, however. The cone cells are the important cells with respect to color. Scientists wishing to understand the color capabilities of foxes look at the type and distribution of cone cells to determine what colors foxes can see.
