Eye retina F008 / 0715
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 orange structure at bottom represents the epithelium. 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 print titled "Eye retina F008 / 0715" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of human vision. The image showcases the delicate and light-sensitive membranous layer of cells that make up the retina, located deep within our eyes. The vibrant orange structure at the bottom represents the epithelium, while above it, we can observe elongated rods resembling flower-like shapes and cone-tipped cells. These specialized nerve cells play a crucial role in producing our visual experiences. The rods, highly sensitive to dim light, enable us to detect images even in low-light conditions. On the other hand, cones are responsible for color vision but are less sensitive than their rod counterparts. As we delve deeper into this artwork's composition, spectral colors symbolize light passing through the iris of an eye – a beautiful representation of how different wavelengths create our perception of color. Ultimately, both rods and cones work together to transmit visual signals through the optic nerve to our brain for interpretation. This stunning illustration not only highlights the complexity and beauty of human anatomy but also serves as a reminder of how remarkable our sense of sight truly is.
