Eye retina C017 / 7790
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 / 7790" 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 an extraordinary network of specialized nerve cells, elegantly depicted here as elongated rods resembling flower-like shapes and cone-tipped cells. These remarkable structures are responsible for producing vision, allowing us to perceive the world around us in all its glory. At the bottom of this stunning illustration lies a yellow structure known as the epithelium, which serves as a protective layer for this complex visual system. It is fascinating to learn that while rods are incredibly sensitive and respond to dim light, enabling us to detect images even in low-light conditions; cones play a crucial role in color vision. As visual signals pass through these photoreceptors - rods and cones - they travel along the optic nerve towards our brain, where they are translated into meaningful images that shape our perception of reality. This stylized depiction not only highlights the beauty of this essential sensory organ but also provides valuable insights into its anatomy and function. Through this thought-provoking artwork by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we gain a deeper appreciation for our incredible sense of sight and marvel at nature's ingenuity in creating such an intricate mechanism within our eyes.
