Eye retina C017 / 7784
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 / 7784" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of vision. The image showcases the inner workings of the eye, specifically focusing on the retina - a remarkable light-sensitive layer composed of specialized nerve cells. Within this delicate membrane, elongated rods resembling delicate flower shapes and cone-tipped cells work in harmony to produce our sense of sight. The rods, highly sensitive to even the faintest glimmers of light, enable us to detect images in low-light conditions. On the other hand, cones are responsible for our perception of vibrant colors but are less sensitive compared to their rod counterparts. As visual signals pass through these photoreceptor cells, they travel along the optic nerve towards our brain where they are processed and interpreted into meaningful visual experiences. This stunning illustration not only highlights the complexity and beauty of our visual system but also emphasizes its crucial role in shaping how we perceive and interact with the world around us. With its stylized depiction and meticulous attention to detail, this print serves as a reminder that behind every breathtaking vista or vivid hue lies an intricate network within our eyes that allows us to truly see and appreciate life's wonders.
