Eye retina C017 / 7792
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 / 7792" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of our visual senses. The image showcases the inner workings of the eye, specifically focusing on the retina - a remarkable light-sensitive layer composed of specialized nerve cells. The retina is an extraordinary amalgamation of elongated rods and cone-tipped cells, resembling delicate flower-like shapes. These unique cells play a vital role in producing vision by responding to different types of light. While rods are incredibly sensitive and excel in detecting images under dim lighting conditions, cones are responsible for our ability to perceive vibrant colors. As we gaze at this stylized illustration, it becomes evident that these photoreceptors hold immense power in shaping our perception of the world around us. They meticulously capture visual signals and transmit them through the optic nerve to be processed by our brain. With its side view perspective, this print provides an awe-inspiring glimpse into one aspect of human anatomy that often goes unnoticed. It serves as a gentle reminder that behind every breathtaking sight lies a complex network of neurons working tirelessly to grant us the gift of vision.
