Eye retina F008 / 0711
The retina, inside the eye, contains a light-sensitive membranous layer of cells. These are specialized nerve cells: elongated rods (flower like shapes) and cone-tipped cells, that produce vision. The rods are very sensitive and respond to dim light. With them the eye can detect images. While the cones are less sensitive but responsible for colour vision. Rods and cones pass visual signals through the optic nerve to the brain. Spectral colours above the cells represents light coming through the iris of the eye

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Eye retina F008 / 0711" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of human vision. The image showcases the delicate and awe-inspiring structure of the retina, a light-sensitive layer nestled within our eyes. Within this membranous layer lie two types of specialized nerve cells: elongated rods resembling elegant flower shapes and cone-tipped cells. These remarkable cells are responsible for producing our ability to see. While rods possess an incredible sensitivity to dim light, allowing us to detect images even in low-light conditions, cones take charge of color vision with their less sensitive yet vibrant receptors. As we gaze at this artwork against a striking black background, spectral colors above these photoreceptor cells symbolize the incoming light filtering through the iris of our eye. This stunning representation reminds us that every visual experience is intricately woven together by these tiny but mighty rods and cones. The optic nerve acts as a bridge between these sensory wonders and our brain, transmitting visual signals for interpretation. Through this extraordinary connection, we can perceive the world around us in all its splendor. Created by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this illustration not only celebrates the beauty found within human anatomy but also serves as a reminder of how truly remarkable our sense of sight is.
