Rod cells. They are found in the retina of the eye and are sensitive to low levels of light, allowing for vision in dim lighting conditions, such as at night.
Rod cells are responsible for vision in dim light. They are specialized photoreceptor cells in the retina that are highly sensitive to light and help us see in low-light conditions.
Rod cells are primarily responsible for night vision, as they are more sensitive to low light levels and can detect dim light. Cone cells, on the other hand, are responsible for day vision and are less sensitive to light but can detect color and high levels of light.
Owls have excellent night vision due to large eyes and specialized cells that enhance their ability to see in low light. Cats are also known for their night vision, with a reflective layer behind the retina called the tapetum lucidum that helps them see in the dark.
Yes, cats have exceptional night vision compared to humans. They have specialized adaptations in their eyes, like a higher concentration of rod cells that help them see in low light conditions. This allows them to be more active during the night.
Cats do not see in pixel vision. They have excellent vision in low light and can see well in the dark due to their specialized eyes that contain more rod cells. Their vision is different from humans, with a wider field of view and ability to detect motion better.
