In the centre of your retina is a dense patch of
photoreceptor cells about 1 millimetre across.

Consider also his claim that «the right way to think»
about a visual experience is that «photons reflected off objects attack the
photoreceptor cells of the retina and this sets up a series of neuronal processes (the retina being part of the brain), which eventually result, if all goes well, in a visual experience that is a perception of the very object that originally reflected the photons» (MC 64).
New information
about how light energy is changed into neural signals shows how an individual
photoreceptor cell of the eye registers the absorption of a single photon, or quantum of light
In the last 10 years we've been working really hard at seeing the
photoreceptors and studying other retina conditions but we're now going to focus really hard on trying to visualize the ganglion
cells and the vasculature that serves the ganglion
cells so that we can actually test some of the most contested hypotheses
about glaucoma.
The retina contains the
cells,
photoreceptors, that collect information
about light: that is, they are th...
