Eye retina F008 / 0712
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 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 / 0712" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of human vision. Against a striking black background, this stylized illustration showcases the complex structure and function of the eye's retina. The retina, located inside the eye, is composed of a light-sensitive membranous layer containing specialized nerve cells known as rods and cones. The elongated rod-shaped cells resemble delicate flower petals, while cone-tipped cells add vibrant pops of color to this visual masterpiece. These photoreceptor cells play an essential role in our ability to see. Rods are incredibly sensitive and enable us to perceive images even in dim lighting conditions, while cones are responsible for our perception of colors. Together, they transmit visual signals through the optic nerve to our brain, allowing us to experience the wonders of sight. This artwork not only highlights the beauty found within human anatomy but also serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our senses truly are. It invites contemplation on the remarkable complexity behind something we often take for granted – our ability to see and interpret the world around us. Created by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this stunning print captures both scientific accuracy and artistic flair. Whether displayed in a medical facility or an art enthusiast's collection, it sparks curiosity about our own visual sense and encourages appreciation for one of nature's most extraordinary creations – the human eye.
