Ganglion cell detail rods/cones contrast rods converge sensitivity

Text	Eye Contrast: 1) Ganglion cell - Group together to form optic nerve; too many inputs result in a loss of detail 2) Bipolar cell - Input from rods/cones & contrast adjacent cells; synapse to ganglion cells 3) Amacrine/Horizontal cell - important for edge detection & increase contrast 4) Rods - more converge per ganglion cell, less sensitivity to detail 5) Cones - less converge per ganglion cell, greater sensitivity to detail 6) Rhodopsin - pigment in rods that allow black/white 7) Photopsin - pigment in cones that allow color 8) Melanopsin - pigments in rods/cones that allow black/white & color

Eye Contrast:

1) Ganglion cell - Group together to form optic nerve; too many inputs result in a loss of detail

2) Bipolar cell - Input from rods/cones & contrast adjacent cells; synapse to ganglion cells

3) Amacrine/Horizontal cell - important for edge detection & increase contrast

4) Rods - more converge per ganglion cell, less sensitivity to detail

5) Cones - less converge per ganglion cell, greater sensitivity to detail

6) Rhodopsin - pigment in rods that allow black/white

7) Photopsin - pigment in cones that allow color

8) Melanopsin - pigments in rods/cones that allow black/white & color
