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 ...
The relative rate of rod and cone degeneration is a fundamental characteristic of any disorder affecting photoreceptors, including ageing and age-related maculopathy (ARM). The macula consists of ...
While a few rods and/or cones may remain, Zaidi and colleagues have strong evidence to show that they contribute little, if at all, to these effects.
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 ...
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.
Scientists have discovered a 300-million-year-old fossil of a fish species called Acanthodes bridgei. The presence of rod and cone cells in the eyes suggests that the fish had color vision.
