Absorption of light & photopigments
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: Rods and cones contain photopigments necessary for the absorption of light that will initiate the events that lead to production of a receptor potential.
Rods contain only rhodopsin.
Cones contain three different photopigments, one for each of the three types of cones (red, green, blue).
Photopigments respond to light in a cyclical process.
