Scientists used the laser to target individual photoreceptor cells in the participants’ eyes—something that cannot be done naturally. Specifically, the laser stimulated retinal M cone cells, a type of ...

The most common form of color blindness is red-green color blindness. This happens when people are born without the type of ...

Just when you think you've seen it all, researchers claim to have developed a way for people to see a color the human eye has previously never seen before. They're calling this new shade 'Olo.' ...

Color vision begins with cones—light-sensitive cells in your retina. You have three types: S, M, and L cones, which respond to short, medium, and long wavelengths of light.

Humans don't see colours very well, or even at all, in low light. This is because our cone cells function best in relatively bright light. Other cells in our eyes, called rod cells, help us see in dim ...

Color vision may actually work like a colorized version of a black-and-white movie, a new study suggests. Cone cells, which sense red, green or blue light, detect white more often than colors ...

These cells each have a protein, called a cone, that will respond to short, medium, or long wavelengths of light; you can think of them as being a trio of musical instruments.
