The deep pseudopupil is not visible in homozygous mutant adults, only a weak shadow is detected in the eye. This phenotype can be rescued by supplementing the flies' diet with all-trans retinal.
Superficially like ninaA in aberrant visual physiology, but all eight photoreceptors in each eye facet affected by ninaB; can be restored to wild-type phenotype by dietary supplement of retinal but not by other retinoids.

Experiments in recombinant E.coli suggest that it is the G838A substitution that causes the defect.
