Two optical properties are associated with the laminar structure of rods and cones: on the one hand the receptors exhibit birefringence (Schmidt, 1938), on the other their visual pigment molecules, believed to be oriented within these layers, show linear dichroism (Denton, 1959; Liebman, 1962; ...
visual images. They do not perceive colour and fine detail, tasks performed by the other major type of light-sensitivecell, thecone. Rod cells are much more sensitive to light than cones and are also much more numerous. Thehuman eyecontains about 130 million rods and about 7 million cones....
The entire CNS is made up of“gray matter”and “white matter.” Gray matter is made up of neurons, the cell type that forms the basis for all types of nerve cells. The largest part of the human brain is cerebrum, which is derived from the forebrain, or the prosencephalon. The cerebr...
On average for both rods and cones, the amount of shed membrane is equivalent to the amount of newly added membrane so that in the adult, rods and cones do not change length. However, not every outer segment sheds every day and... DJ Roof - Springer Berlin Heidelberg 被引量: 6发表: ...

Vertebrate photoreceptor cells, rods and cones, are responsible for scotopic and photopic vision, respectively. Based on their spectral sensitivities, cones can be further classified into several types having different visual pigments. This is the origin of color vision. As compared with a vast amoun...
The foundations of avian vision rest on their cone and rod photoreceptors. Most birds use four cone photoreceptor types for color vision, a fifth cone for achromatic tasks, and a rod for dim-light vision. The cones, along with their oil droplets, and rods are conserved across birds – with...

In older stages cone rows are separated by the newly formed rods and by PE wedges filled with diffusely reflecting guanine crystallites. The findings are compared with the retinae of other engraulidids and with the development of teleost retinae in general. Moreover, the observed structural ...
