Eye retina C017 / 7786
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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Eye retina C017 / 7786" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world within our eyes. The image showcases the delicate and light-sensitive membranous layer of cells known as the retina, which plays a crucial role in our ability to see. The retina is composed of specialized nerve cells, namely elongated rods resembling flower-like shapes and cone-tipped cells that contribute to our vision. At the bottom of the image, we can observe a yellow structure representing the epithelium, an important component of eye anatomy. The rods present in this illustration are highly sensitive and excel at detecting images even in dim light conditions. On the other hand, cones are responsible for color vision but are less sensitive than rods. Together, these photoreceptors transmit visual signals through the optic nerve to our brain, allowing us to perceive and interpret what we see. The stylized depiction beautifully captures both the complexity and elegance of this essential sensory organ. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder of how remarkable our visual sense truly is while highlighting key elements such as neuron connections and optic pathways. Overall, this stunning print from PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY invites us to appreciate not only its scientific significance but also its artistic representation of one of nature's most extraordinary creations –the human eye.
