Eye retina F008 / 0720
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 brown 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. Spectral colours above the cells represents light coming through the iris of the eye

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Eye retina F008 / 0720" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of human vision. The image showcases the delicate and light-sensitive membranous layer of cells that make up the retina, located deep within our eyes. The illustration beautifully depicts elongated rods resembling delicate flower shapes alongside cone-tipped cells, which play a crucial role in producing our visual experiences. These specialized nerve cells work together to enable us to perceive images and colors with astonishing precision. At the bottom of the image, we can observe a brown structure representing the epithelium, while above it, spectral colors symbolize light passing through the iris of an eye. This representation highlights how these photoreceptor cells capture and transmit visual signals through the optic nerve to our brain for interpretation. Rods are depicted as highly sensitive structures that excel at detecting even dim light conditions, allowing us to see in low-light environments. On the other hand, cones are responsible for color vision but are less sensitive than rods. With its stylized design against a clean white background, this artwork not only showcases the complexity of eye anatomy but also reminds us of our incredible ability to perceive and interpret visuals through one of nature's most remarkable creations – our eyes.
