Eye retina and iris C017 / 7789
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 yellow 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. In the background the iris and pupil of an eye

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Eye Retina and Iris" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of vision. At first glance, one is immediately drawn to the vibrant colors and delicate details that make up this remarkable organ. The focal point of the image lies within the retina, an essential component nestled deep inside the eye. This light-sensitive membranous layer contains specialized nerve cells known as rods and cones, which play a crucial role in producing our visual experiences. The elongated rod cells resemble exquisite flower-like shapes, while cone-tipped cells are responsible for our perception of color. As we delve deeper into this fascinating composition, we notice a yellow structure at the bottom representing the epithelium. It serves as a foundation for these sensory wonders to thrive upon. Intriguingly, rods possess exceptional sensitivity to dim light, enabling us to detect images even in challenging lighting conditions. On the other hand, cones may be less sensitive but offer us vivid color vision that enriches our everyday experiences. Together with their counterparts - rods and cones - work harmoniously to transmit visual signals through the optic nerve towards our brain's interpretation center. This intricate process allows us to perceive and comprehend everything around us visually. The background showcases another marvel: an iris adorned with its central pupil – both key components contributing to regulating light entering our eyes. Overall, this stylized illustration beautifully captures not only scientific knowledge but also evokes wonder about how intricately designed our sense of sight truly is.
