A survey of previous data shows that the visual acuity of different bird groups (with the exception of owls) depends on the eye size, while the shape of the foveal pit does not correlate with the visual acuity. Among various bird groups, the foveal pit may have two depths, shallow (80-...
The function of the macula lutea is to allow for sharp and focused vision in the human eye. It is a yellow spot in the center of the retina. What is the difference between the macula lutea and the fovea centralis? Fovea centralis is a part of the macula lutea. It is a small depressi...
The photoreceptors with this organelle were unevenly distributed across the retina, being present in the central region (including in the fovea), but absent from the retinal periphery and the area temporalis of these insectivorous birds. Of the many bird species with their photoreceptors characterized...
