There are two types, rods for black and white, and cones for colors.


What are the three different type of cone cells?

Cone cells, or cones, are one of the two types of photoreceptor cells that are in the retina of the eye which are responsible for color vision as well as eye color sensitivity; they function best in relatively bright light, as opposed to rod cells that work better in dim light.


How does your eyes read color?

You eyes have three different light receptor cells or rods in your eye. Each are sensitive to a different spectrum. Red, Blue and green. These cells cover the whole visible spectrum range with some overlap. Colours are made from different spectra at different intensities. This is also how some people are colour blind. Someone with red colour blindness (the most common) has malformed or non-functioning red cells.

Is the human retina is sensitive to ultraviolet light?

the lens is the most sensitive part of the eye. the retina can become damaged when there is an excessive ultraviolet light exposed.


Are rods and cones sensitive to light?

Both rods and cones are light receptors. Rods are connected many to onr neuron, and are good for detecting low-light and movement, but not color. Cones are one to a neuron and detect color. Both are present in most if not all mammals and avians.
