Photoreceptors are the specialized cells within the retina that capture light and initiate the process of vision, making them essential to our ability to see. This image provides a detailed look at the anatomical structure of these cells, highlighting the differences between rods and cones and their critical components.

Photoreceptors are the light-sensitive cells within the retina, crucial for converting light into electrical signals that enable vision. This image, featuring both a detailed anatomical structure and a microscope view at 800x magnification, illustrates the intricate design of rod and cone cells, highlighting their roles in low-light and color vision.
