rod cell - a visual receptor cell that is sensitive to dim light

retina - the innermost light-sensitive membrane covering the back wall of the eyeball; it is continuous with the optic nerve

visual cell - one of the cells of the retina that is sensitive to light

retinal purple, rhodopsin, visual purple - a red photopigment in the retinal rods of vertebrates; dissociates into retinene by light

A single-photon avalanche photodiode (APD) confirms single photon production and an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) is triggered to divert the idler photon through an optical fiber interfaced with the rod cell. Thus, the point is that if the APD does not detect a single photon, signal photon, then the AOM is not activated for further interaction with rod cell (see Fig.

In darkness, the rod cell plasmalemma is depolarized and the rods secrete neurotransmitters.

This particular tie rod cell had experienced ongoing problems with the original marking system, which consisted of two marking heads being controlled by one CPU (central processing unit) at each station.

Transplants help night-blind mice: injecting light-gathering rod cells restores vision in rodents

Two or more types of cone cells work together to sense color in abundant light, and a single type of rod cell detects light more sensitively, but only in black and white.

How Deep Sea Fish See In The Dark

In darkness, vertebrates detect the few available light particles with their light-sensitive rod cells, which contain only a single type of the photopigment rhodopsin -- explaining why nearly all vertebrates are color-blind at night.
