Imaging the human eye: detailed images of rod and cone photoreceptors Detailed images of photoreceptors could advance treatment and early detection for macular degeneration and other eye diseases ...

Scientists have discovered a fossilized fish so well preserved that the rods and cones in its 300-million-year-old eyeballs are still visible under a scanning electron microscope.

There’s a relay race in your eye that allows you to see. It begins when light hits the rod and cone cells in your retina, triggering a cascade of electrical signals. These pass through other ...

In eyes with less advanced disease, the results were even more profound, Khurana said. Among this subgroup, 16.9% of those in the sham treatment group had a vision loss of 15 letters or more ...

Cone-rod dystrophy is a group of IRDs that damage cones and rods. Vision loss gets worse over time. Between 1 in 30,000 and 1 in 40,000 people have cone-rod dystrophy.

An analysis of the 120-million-year-old bird revealed that the creature's eye tissues — more specially, its rods and cones — had fossilized in remarkable condition. (Whereas rods sense grey ...

The eye (and the fish that hosts it) was discovered in Kansas, but it is currently housed in the National Museum of Nature and Science in Tokyo. These ancient rods and cones helped a type of fish ...
