6.Humans have trichromatic vision, meaning we have three cone cells in our retinas, each which are sensitive to different wavelengths of light: blue, green or red.
7.Dr Schwartz and his team coaxed embryonic stem cells to become retinal pigment epithelium tissue which supports the rod and cone cells that actually respond to light
9.The limit to our vision doesn't come from being able to bring things into focus; it's because the cone cells on our retina are only packed so close together.
10.Humans have trichromatic vision, meaning we have three cone cells in our retinas, each which are sensitive to different wavelengths of light; blue, green or red.
11.Here, a massive grid of cone cells and rod cells absorb the photons of light and output electrical signals to a nerve fiber that goes to the brain for processing.
12.As NASA explains, even when 99 percent of the sun's surface is covered, the 1 percent that sneaks out around the edges is enough to damage the rod and cone cells in your retinas.
正如 NASA 所解释的,即使太阳表面的 99%被遮挡,仍有 1%的阳光从边缘漏出,足以损害网膜上的杆细胞和细胞。
13.Whereas our normal, bright-light photopic vision is produced by three types of color-sensitive cone cells, dark scotopic vision is produced by the eye's rod cells, which are great at sensing something's brightness, but can't discriminate different colors.
14.Now this brings us to a key question: If your eyes only have 3 different types of cone cells, each of which can only absorb red, green, or blue, how do we see this entire spectrum of colors?
