k Retina. Coloured scanning electron micrograph SEM of a section through a human retina, the lightsensitive tissue that lines the inside of the eye. Light entering the eye passes through several layers of cells before reaching the light receptors. From left to right are seen the surface layer brown, cell bodies of optical ganglion cells pale red, which form the optic nerve cell bodies of bipolar neurons and of the receptor cells red and the rod white and cone yellow receptors. Rod cells differentiate light and dark, whereas cone cells allow colour vision. Magnification x840 when printed 10 centimetres wide. Editorial Stock Photo - Afloimages
