Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that photoreceptors are specialized cells in the retina that detect light and convert it into neural signals.
Identify the two main types of photoreceptors: rods and cones.
Recall that rods are responsible for vision in low light (night vision) and do not detect color.
Recognize that cones are the photoreceptors responsible for detecting color and function best in bright light.
Note that bipolar cells and ganglion cells are types of neurons in the retina that process and transmit signals from photoreceptors but are not photoreceptors themselves.
