Eye retina and iris C017 / 7788
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 C017 / 7788" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of our visual system. At its core lies the retina, an extraordinary light-sensitive layer composed of specialized nerve cells known as rods and cones. The elongated rod cells, resembling delicate flower shapes, possess remarkable sensitivity to dim light, enabling us to detect images even in low-light conditions. Contrasting with their counterparts, the cone-tipped cells are responsible for our vibrant color vision. Although less sensitive than rods, these cones add a kaleidoscope of hues to our perception of the world around us. Together, rods and cones collaborate in transmitting visual signals through the optic nerve to our brain – where magic truly happens. In this stylized illustration captured by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we also catch a glimpse of the iris and pupil gracefully adorning the background. These elements play crucial roles in regulating how much light enters our eyes while maintaining focus on objects at varying distances. Delving deeper into this image unveils not just an artistic representation but also serves as a reminder of the incredible complexity that underlies human sight. It is through such scientific marvels that we gain insight into how we perceive and interact with our surroundings – reminding us once again that there is so much more than meets the eye when it comes to understanding ourselves.
