What is found in the fovea centralis rods or comes?

Cone cells are predominantly found in the fovea centralis. These cells are responsible for color vision and they function best in bright light conditions. Rod cells, on the other hand, are more abundant in the peripheral parts of the retina and are responsible for night vision and detecting motion.

Tiny pit of the macula lutea contains only cones?
