rods and cones
no. they are called eyes. photoreceptors are cells within the eye that respond to light such as cones and rods.
The sense that contains two types of photoreceptors called rods and cones is vision. These photoreceptors are found in the retina of the eye, where rods are responsible for low-light vision and peripheral vision, while cones are responsible for color vision and detail in bright light. Together, they enable the perception of a wide range of visual stimuli.
The retina in the eye contains millions of photoreceptors known as rods and cones. These photoreceptors are responsible for converting light into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as vision.
The special sense that relies on photoreceptors is vision. Photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, called rods and cones, help convert light into electrical signals that the brain interprets as images.
The organ of vision is the retina of the eye. The sensory receptors are called photoreceptors. When photoreceptors are stimulated, impulses travel within the optic nerve (CN II) to the visual (occipital) cortex of the brain for interpretation. There are two types of photoreceptors: Cones are photoreceptors for color vision and produce sharp images while the Rods are photoreceptors for night vision and produce silhouettes of images.

Photoreceptors are neurons within the light sensitive area of the eye, the retina. There are two main types of photoreceptors: rods and cones. Rods are responsible for light, being sensitive to bright lights; and cones are responsible for color, with their ability to distinguish between different wavelengths. A third type of photoreceptor was discovered in the 1990s, called Photosensitive ganglion cells. These photoreceptors are primarily responsible for the synchronization of an organism's circadian rhythm, and also regulate the release or repression of melatonin, a sleep hormone.

Photoreceptors can respond to light in milliseconds. Upon exposure to light, photoreceptors quickly undergo a series of biochemical reactions that lead to changes in their membrane potential, triggering neural signals to be sent to the brain.
