There are two types of photoreceptors in the retina, cone cells and rod cells. There are 92 million rod cells in a retina. Rod cells function in less intense light and are important for peripheral vision and night vision.

The Giant Squid has the largest eye in the world
What is the best way to put eye drops in a cats eye
This is a fair question, given that animals cannot tell us whether they see objects in colour or not. The way that scientists can determine whether or not an animal has colour vision is via the "cones" in their eyes. Animals and people have both "rods" and "cones". Rods assist in seeing in the dark; cones assist with colour vision. Quite simply, scientists can determine how well an animal sees colour by working out the ratio of rods to cones in their eyes. They also analyse the type of cones themselves: there are three types of cones which are responsible for colour vision, and each one has a separate pigment which is sensitive to red, blue or green light.
The giant squid has the largest eye in the animal kingdom, measuring up to 10 inches in diameter. While not quite the size of a basketball, it is still very large relative to the size of the animal.
There are more rods than cones in the human eye.
There are more rods than cones in the human eye.
Rods are used to detect variances in light and are perceived as black, grey and white. Cones are used to pick up colors.
Rods are the primary pigments in the retina of eye detecting black and white light or objects.

Your eye has cones and rods that are stimulated by light.
No, rods do not detect color in the human eye. Rods are responsible for detecting light and dark, while cones are responsible for detecting color.
Rods are a part of the eye that takes in low light. Cones are located in the retina and they are responsible for seeing in color. All mammals have rods and cones in their eyes.
You find rods and cones in the back of your eye near the retium
The rods (themselves) are sensitive to light The cones are sensitive to colour
Rods and cones are found in the retina at the back of the eye. They are directly connected to nerve cells that lead into the brain.
