What is the focal point of the eye called and where is it located?
The fovea centralis, also generally known as the fovea, is a part of the eye, located in the center of the macula region of the retina. It's important because it's the center of the eye's sharpest vision and the location of most color perception.
What region of the retina produces the sharpest image?
It actually depends on the lens. For the image to be sharp on the retina, all the rays of light coming off the object must meet together at the same point on the retina. If the rays of light meet somewhere in front of the retina, the lens focuses by stretching itself and becoming thinner. This spreads out the rays of light, making them go further into the eye until they reach the middle of the retina. If the rays of light are behind the retina, the lens thickens to focus.

What is the fovea?
The fovea is a pit in the macula of the eye
Tiny pit in the macula lutea?
The pit in the middle of the macula is called the fovea. The fovea is responsible for high resolution vision.
In what area of the retina are cones concentrated?
The highest concentration of cones is in the macula. The fovea centralis, at the center of the macula, contains only cones and no rods. The macula is a small, yellowish central portion of the retina. It is about 5.5 mm in diamter and is the area providing the clearest vision.

Can the fovea centralis be seen with an ophthalmoscope?
Yes. The fovea centralis can be seen with an ophthalmoscope.
What is the highest concentration of cones in the eye?
The highest concentration of cones in the retina is 50 per 100 micrometers in the central fovea. (from wikipedia) So there are approximately 17,500 cones in central fovea.
Why is it an advantage for fovea to focus on something colorful?
It is important for the fovea to focus on something colorful because this is where most of color perception occurs. The fovea is small dimple located in the middle of the retina.

Function of fovea centralis?
