Skip to main content Thank you for visiting nature. Download PDF. Subjects Anatomy Physiology. Introduction Being the first element in the photo-transduction cascade that triggers vision, the structure and distribution of photoreceptors have long been of interest to clinicians and vision scientists. Materials and methods Subjects Five healthy subjects denoted N1—N5 between the ages of 22 and 27 years were imaged.
Offline post processing Due to warping in the horizontal direction caused by the sinusoidal resonant scanner motion, all frames were de-warped based on a Ronchi ruling calibration image. Cone and rod identification Registered images were reviewed to find the focal plane where the rod mosaic appeared brightest.
Full size image. Figure 2. Figure 3. Figure 4. Figure 5. Google Scholar 2 Polyak S. One part of the retina does NOT contain any photoreceptors. This is our "blind spot. It is in this region that the optic nerves come together and exit the eye on their way to the brain.
Hold the image or place your head from the computer monitor about 20 inches away. With your right eye, look at the dot. Slowly bring the image or move your head closer while looking at the dot. Reverse the process. Move the image slowly closer to you and the dot should disappear.
For this image, close your right eye. With your left eye, look at the red circle. Slowly move your head closer to the image. At a certain distance, the blue line will not look broken!
Before identifying the genetic sequence of human rhodopsin, it was sequences in other animals. Here is shown the comparison between the bovine cow sequence and the human sequence. They are very similar with only a small number of differences the dark circles. Even when there is a difference it may not be functionally significant. The gene for human rhodopsin is located on chromosome 3. This figure shows the sequence for the S-cone pigment compared to that of rhodopsin. The S-cone pigment gene is located on chromosome 7.
Notice how different they are. This figure shows the sequence of the L- and M-cone pigments compared to each other. These pigments are very similar. Only those differences within the cell membrane can contribute to the differences in their spectral sensitivity.
The M- and L- cone pigments are both encoded on the X chromosome in tandem. The 23rd pair of chromosomes determines gender. For females this pair is XX and for males this pair is XY. We will return to this later on when we discuss color vision and color blindness. The Receptor Mosaic. This figure shows how the three cone types are arranged in the fovea. Currently there is a great deal of research involving the determination of the ratios of cone types and their arrangement in the retina.
Curiously, despite the vitality of cones to our vision, we have million rods and only 6 million cones. The density of cones in our center of gaze is shown in the graph above. The peak is on our fovea.
