Eye retina and iris C017 / 7785
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. In the background the iris and pupil of an eye

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Eye Retina and Iris C017 / 7785" 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. In this visually stunning composition, elongated rod-shaped cells resembling delicate flowers are juxtaposed with cone-tipped cells that play a crucial role in producing our ability to see. While rods possess exceptional sensitivity to dim light, enabling us to detect images even in low-light conditions, cones are responsible for our perception of vibrant colors. The yellow structure at the bottom represents the epithelium, adding another layer of complexity to this visual masterpiece. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph serves as an educational tool by highlighting how these photoreceptor cells transmit visual signals through the optic nerve to our brain. As we delve deeper into this image's background, we encounter the enchanting iris and pupil - two elements that contribute significantly to our sense of sight. This side view perspective allows us to appreciate not only their physical beauty but also their essential roles in regulating incoming light. Overall, "Eye Retina and Iris C017 / 7785" is an awe-inspiring illustration that invites contemplation about our incredible visual sense while providing valuable insights into eye anatomy and structure.
