Frog eye, light micrograph
Frog eye. Light micrograph of a section through the eye of a frog. Most amphibians, such as frogs and salamanders, have color vision, even though they may be restricted to narrower bands of the visible color spectrum than are humans. There are at least four types of photoreceptors or optical sensors with different chemical composition that allow visualisation of different amounts of color by amphibians. Since amphibians have been around a long time and have adapted to a variety of environments, their eye configurations vary slightly for different environments. Amphibian eyes contain photoreceptors like those of some fish. Magnification: x25 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a frog's eye, captured through a light micrograph. The image reveals a section of the amphibian's eye, highlighting its remarkable ability for color vision. While frogs and salamanders perceive colors differently than humans due to their restricted range within the visible spectrum, they possess at least four distinct types of photoreceptors or optical sensors with varying chemical compositions. Amphibians have existed for ages and have successfully adapted to diverse environments, resulting in slight variations in their eye configurations. Interestingly, these eyes bear resemblance to those found in certain fish species. The photograph's magnification factor of x25 when printed at 10 centimeters wide allows us to appreciate the intricate details that make up this fascinating organ. Captured by renowned photographer Steve Gschmeissner, this horizontal image serves as an extraordinary testament to the wonders of science. It invites viewers into a realm where nature's complexities are unveiled under microscopic lenses. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from Fine Art Storehouse, we are reminded of the vast diversity present within our natural world and how even seemingly small creatures like frogs hold secrets waiting to be discovered through scientific exploration.
