How they do so is now being elucidated. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, green, and blue, while dimness or brightness is detected by ...

The Scientist: How can too much sunlight damage the eye? Ralph Chou: Light comes into the eye and goes through all the various layers of cells until it reaches the photoreceptors—essentially, the ...

Photoreceptors of "microvillous" origin, similar to those in the fruit fly eye, use the enzyme phospholipase C to signal light detection—whereas photoreceptors of ciliary origin, such as those ...

Researchers have elucidated how a single photoreceptor in the pineal gland of zebrafish detects color. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red ...

These photoreceptors consist of rods and cones. Rods allow the eye to sense light and see in ... an early age that she would pursue a career in art. She told the BBC that while painting a ...
