In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns known as the "cone mosaic".

Retinas in all mammals, from mouse to man, are made up of light-sensitive cells known as cones and rods, named for their shapes, which convert light into nerve signals that are then transmitted to ...

The images below each show a scene as viewed by a human. Drag the slider to the left to see how an animal would see the same scene. Whereas human eyes contain three types of colour-detecting cells, ...

Typically, our colour vision is trichromatic, meaning we have three types of cone cells in our eyes, blue, green and red, that respond to short, medium and long wavelengths of light. Each cone ...

There are three different types of cone cells which produce colour vision. The amount of light entering the eye is controlled by a reflex action. The size of the pupil changes in response to ...

“Cones are particularly interesting as the cell type that matters most for our daily operation in color vision,” said Rui Chen, a molecular geneticist at Baylor College of Medicine who was not ...

The latest is a spinning cone fitted with solar cells that looks so interesting that it becomes a feature on its own. The vibrantly-colored device becomes even more attractive when you consider that ...
