Antique Framed Print : Light micrograph of monkey retina, high power
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Light micrograph of monkey retina, high power
Rods and cones of monkey retina. Light micrograph of a tangential section through the retina of a monkeys eye, showing the rod cells (small) and cone cells (large). Rod cells and the less numerous cone cells are specialized light- sensitive cells. They occur within the thickness of the retina, rather than on its surface. They are responsible for detecting visible images, which are transmitted as nerve impulses to the optic nerve and the brain. Rod cells detect light intensity and so are important for day and night vision. The less numerous cone cells respond specifically to colour. Magnification x2000 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a monkey's retina, captured at high power using a light micrograph. The image reveals the delicate network of rod and cone cells that populate the thickness of the retina, rather than its surface. These specialized light-sensitive cells play a crucial role in our vision. The smaller rod cells are responsible for detecting light intensity, making them essential for both day and night vision. They diligently transmit nerve impulses to the optic nerve and ultimately to the brain, allowing us to perceive visible images. On the other hand, larger cone cells respond specifically to different colors, enabling us to experience a vibrant world full of hues. With an impressive magnification of x2000 at 35mm size, this photograph provides an extraordinary glimpse into the inner workings of these vital visual components within a monkey's eye. It serves as a testament to nature's remarkable complexity and reminds us of how intricately designed even seemingly small parts can be. This stunning image from Science Photo Library invites contemplation on topics such as structure, sight, cell biology, anatomy, and animal physiology. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only the fascinating science behind our ability to see but also highlights the astonishing beauty found within every living creature's body.
