The cells that allow you to see in black and white are called rod cells, which are photoreceptor cells located in the retina of the eye. Rods are highly sensitive to light and enable vision in low-light conditions, but they do not detect color. Instead, they contribute to night vision and peripheral vision, allowing us to perceive shades of gray in dim lighting. This is in contrast to cone cells, which are responsible for color vision.

Which type of photo-sensitive cells allow us to see in black and white and which ones allow us to distinguish colours?

Rods are the photo-sensitive cells that allow us to see in black and white, while cones are responsible for distinguishing colors. Rods are highly sensitive and help with night vision, but cannot detect colors. Cones come in three types and are responsible for color vision by responding to different wavelengths of light.

What does the pointer look like when you select a cell?

When you click on the cell to select it, the pointer is like a large white cross with black edges. If after selecting the cell, the pointer is over the edge of the cell, you will see a black cross with 4 arrowheads and the normal white arrow. These indicate that you can click on the edge of the cell to drag it. Move the pointer away from the edge and it becomes the large white cross again.
