Eye retina F008 / 0717
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 orange 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 F008 / 0717" takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the intricate world of human vision. The image showcases the delicate and awe-inspiring structure of the eye's retina, which houses a remarkable layer of light-sensitive cells. The retina is an essential component for our ability to perceive images, as it contains two types of specialized nerve cells: rods and cones. The elongated rod-shaped cells resemble beautiful flower-like shapes in this stylized illustration, while the cone-tipped cells add a touch of elegance to the composition. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we notice an orange structure at the bottom representing the epithelium, providing contrast against the white background. It is fascinating to learn that these rods are incredibly sensitive and excel in detecting images under dim lighting conditions. On the other hand, cones are responsible for our color vision but are less sensitive than their rod counterparts. The visual signals captured by these photoreceptor cells travel through the optic nerve before reaching our brain, where they are processed into meaningful visual experiences. This side view perspective allows us to appreciate how each element works harmoniously within our eyesight. In summary, this stunning artwork not only celebrates human anatomy but also serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our bodies truly are. It invites us to marvel at nature's brilliance and ponder over the wonders that lie within ourselves - all encapsulated in one captivating print from Science Photo Library by PASIEKA/SCIENCE
