fotoreceptorokként
Fotoreceptorokként, often translated as photoreceptors, are specialized cells in the retina of the eye responsible for detecting light and converting it into electrical signals. These signals are then processed by the brain to form visual images. There are two main types of photoreceptor cells: rods and cones. Rods are highly sensitive to light and are primarily responsible for vision in low-light conditions, allowing us to see in dim environments and perceive black and white. Cones, on the other hand, require brighter light to function and are responsible for color vision and sharp detail. Humans typically have three types of cones, each sensitive to different wavelengths of light, corresponding to red, green, and blue.
The process of light detection begins when a photon of light strikes a photopigment molecule within the
