The retina is home to two different kinds of light receptor cells—rods and cones. (Both are named after their relative shapes.) Cones work in bright light and register detail, while rods work in ...

The light-detecting part of the retina is formed of rod and cone photoreceptor cells that are responsible for everything we see. The lower third of this image depicts the layer of blood vessels ...

The cells in the retina contain rods and cones that help organize the visual information before transmission. When the ...

Light passes through the eyeball to the retina. There are two main types of light receptors called rods and cones. Rods are more sensitive to light than cones so they are useful for seeing in dim ...

It is found that about 400 rods of the retina must be served by one nerve fibre after the demands of the cones, the organs for visual acuity, have been satisfied. The conger and other deep-sea ...

The reason lies within the eye. In the eye are light receptors called cones and rods. Cones help us distinguish different colors, while rods help us see in dim light. The number of cones and rods ...

Inside the retina, there are millions of special sense receptors called rods and cones. The rods see the shapes of things, picking out black, white and shades of grey, and the cones see the ...

In wild-type, retinal ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner nuclear layer (INL), inner plexiform layer (IPL), and nuclear layers of rod and cone photoreceptors are distinct, and rod outer segment (OS ...

Our contribution to this research drive involves developing a new type of gene therapy to reprogramme cells deep in the eye to sense light. The ultimate aim is to treat all types of blindness caused ...

The mammalian retina is a complex system consisting out of cones (for color) and rods (for peripheral monochrome) that provide the raw image data which is then processed into successive layers of ...
