Retinal Cone

Description:

Retinal cones are photoreceptor cells located in the retina of the eye. They are responsible for color vision and visual acuity in bright light conditions. There are three types of retinal cones: red, green, and blue. Each type is sensitive to a different range of wavelengths, allowing us to perceive a wide spectrum of colors.

Example Sentences:
