Eye retina C017 / 7783
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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Eye retina C017 / 7783" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world within our eyes. The image showcases the delicate and light-sensitive membranous layer of cells that make up the retina, nestled deep inside the eye. The retina is home to two types of specialized nerve cells: elongated rods resembling beautiful flower-like shapes and cone-tipped cells. Together, they play a crucial role in producing vision. While rods are incredibly sensitive to even dim light, allowing us to detect images, cones are responsible for our ability to perceive colors. As visual signals pass through these remarkable photoreceptors - rods and cones - they travel along the optic nerve towards the brain, where they are interpreted as sight. This extraordinary process enables us to experience and comprehend the world around us. The stylized illustration captures not only the scientific intricacies but also evokes a sense of wonderment at how our visual sense operates flawlessly every day. With its side view perspective, this artwork provides an insightful look into the complex structure of our eyes. Created by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print serves as a reminder of both the beauty and functionality found within our eyes without mentioning any commercial use associated with it.
