Four kinds of light-sensitive receptors are found in the retina:
Each type of receptor has its own special pigment for absorbing light. Each consists of:
The amino acid sequence of each of the four types of opsin are similar, but the differences account for their differences in absorption spectrum. The retina also contains a complex array of interneurons:
Ganglion cells are always active. Even in the dark they generate trains of action potentials and conduct them back to the brain along the optic nerve. Vision is based on the modulation of these nerve impulses. There is not the direct relationship between visual stimulus and an action potential that is found in the senses of hearing, taste, and smell. In fact, action potentials are not even generated in the rods and cones.
The smaller area in the retina where light passing through the lens is focused is called the fovea. It contains a high concentration of cone cells, which are responsible for detailed central vision and color perception.
That part is called as pupil. Through this aperture the light goes in to retina.
The steps of light being received by the eye are: generation of light passage of light to the eye through the tear film through the cornea through the aqueous humor through the lens through the vitreous humor through the layers of the retina to the photoreceptors of the retina

The answer to this question is the retina .......... It's the retina because everything is upside down, bends, goes up to the brain and flips it around........and that is why the light is always focused on the retina

The light (in the form of photons) travel in a straight line, passing through the pupil and striking the retina. If you imagine the path the light is taking while you look at a tall object, light from the top will be angled down and strike the bottom of your retina, while light from the bottom will strike the top. That's they they appear upside down at the back of the eye.

Light enters the eye through the cornea, passes through the pupil, gets focused by the lens, and is projected onto the retina at the back of the eye. The retina then converts this light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain through the optic nerve for further processing.
No part of the eye "attracts" light. Light enters the eye by passing through the cornea and the aqueous humour before getting to the lens. After being focused by the lens, light passes through the vitreous humour to the retina.
As light enters the eye, it passes through the cornea, the aqueous humor, the lens, and finally reaches the retina. These structures help to focus and transmit the incoming light to the photoreceptor cells in the retina where the visual signals are initiated.
Lens, Cornea, Humerus focus light into the retina
The condenser adjusts the amount of light passing through the specimen.
Refracted. Light passing through is refracted, light bouncing off of is reflected.
