Eye retina, rod and cone F008 / 0719
The retina, inside the eye, contains a light-sensitive membranous layer of cells. These are specialized nerve cells: elongated rods (flower like shape) 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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Eye retina, rod and cone F008 / 0719" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of human vision. Set against a striking black background, this illustration showcases the complex structure of the eye's retina, which houses a layer of light-sensitive cells crucial for our ability to see. Within this membranous layer reside specialized nerve cells known as rods and cones. The elongated rods, resembling delicate flowers, possess an extraordinary sensitivity to dim light. They play a vital role in detecting images and enabling us to navigate in low-light conditions. On the other hand, cone-tipped cells are responsible for our perception of color. Although less sensitive than rods, they allow us to experience the vibrant spectrum that surrounds us. The visual signals captured by these photoreceptor cells are then transmitted through the optic nerve to our brain, where they are processed into meaningful images and perceptions. This side view artwork beautifully highlights how these essential components work together seamlessly within our visual system. As we explore this stunning depiction of human anatomy created by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity behind one of our most precious senses – sight. It serves as a reminder that even within such microscopic structures lie wonders that enable us to perceive and interact with the world around us every day.
