In the centre of the iris, is the pupil, which enlarges in poor or dim light. This is because your retina, which processes what you are seeing and turns it into images, requires light to do this. In bright light the pupil gets smaller, so it does not let excess light in. But in dim light, your pupil grows, to let more light in, to help the retina see images

The iris is a muscle located behind the cornea of the eye. It adjusts the size of the pupil to control the amount of light entering the eye. In bright light, the iris contracts to make the pupil smaller, limiting the amount of light that reaches the retina. In low light, the iris relaxes, making the pupil larger to allow more light into the eye.

What happens to the iris to allow less light to enter the eye?
The iris widens to allow as much light ad possible to enter
What structure controls the amount of light that gets in the eye?
Iris controls the amount of light entering into the eye.
What is biconcave structure of the eye capable of adjusting due to the amount of light?
The biconcave structure is the "lens, but his focuses the light, it does not adjust for the amount of light. The structure that adjusts for the amount of light entering the eye is the "iris"
Which cranial nerve is responsible for adjusting amount of light entering eye?
The amount of light is actually controlled by the iris sphincter muscle, or the iris. It is controlled by parasympathetic fibers that originate from the Edinger-Westphal nucleus, travel along the oculomotor nerve (CN III), synapse in the ciliary ganglion, and then enter the eye via the short ciliary nerves.
How does closing the iris diaphragm affect image brightness and contrast?
An iris diaphragm controls the amount of light admitted to a lens. Closing the iris diaphragm will decrease the brightness and increase the contrast of an image.
What is the biconcave structure of the capable of adjusting due to the amount of light?
The biconcave structure is the "lens, but his focuses the light, it does not adjust for the amount of light. The structure that adjusts for the amount of light entering the eye is the "iris"
What happens to the iris to allow less light to enter the eye?

Where is the iris diaphragm on a microscope?
This iris diaphragm of a microscope contains the amount of light that can enter through to the specimen. If the condenser iris diaphragm is open, the image will be bright; if it is closed, it will be dim.
Which part of the eye is adjustable in accordance with the light conditions?
The pupil goes larger in the dark, and smaller in the light.
How does the iris control the size of the pupil?
the iris
Why is it hard to see after going from bright light to dark light?
It is difficult to see once entering a dark room after being in bright light because the pupils adjust how much light goes into the eye. In the sunlight, the pupils are tiny. In a dark room, the pupils need a few seconds to adjust to open wider.
What part of the microscope would you adjust to regulate the amount of light reaching the specimen?
The Iris diaphragm in the condenser. (the lever sticking out just above the "8" in the image above.
Are eyes of a fish same as an human eye?
No. Normally human eyeballs have their pupils behind their iris so that the eye can adjust to light but fish eyes have their pupils protruding through the iris so that it cannot adjust its eyes to light.
What is the color portion of the eye?
The pigmentation of the eye's iris and the frequency-dependence of the scattering of light by the turbid medium in the stroma of the iris. The iris, irides, and/or irises is a thin, circular structure in the eye, responsible for controlling the diameter and size of the pupils and thus the amount of light reaching the retina. "Eye color" is the color of the iris, which can be green, blue, or brown. In some cases it can be hazel, which is a combination of light brown, green and gold, grey, violet, or even pink. In response to the amount of light entering the eye, muscles attached to the iris expand or contract the aperture at the center of the iris, known as the pupil. The larger the pupil, the more light can enter.
Why cant you see properly when you come inside from a sunny day?
Your eyes will adjust to the available light. Outside on a sunny day, the iris of the eyes will contract to limit the amount of incoming light. When you walk inside, your contracted iris doesn't allow much light, and so things appear to be very dark. After a few seconds, the iris of your eyes will dilate or expand, allowing more light in. when you walk back outside, you instinctively squint your eyes to limit the amount of light, allowing the iris to contract again. It's an entirely automatic process; we don't have to think about it.
Why is the iris reflex needed?
Iris regulates the amount of light that enter your eye ball. It constricts when there is light of high intensity. It dilates when there is less light. So it protects the retina from light of high intensity and enables you to see in dim light.
How does a microscope iris diaphragm lever work like the iris of an eye?
The iris diaphragm adjusts the amount of light allowed in.
