Acuity versus Sensitivity
This activity demonstrates two different ways that photoreceptors are connected to ganglion cells in the retina, and how these two systems trade off acuity for sensitivity. The rectangular black surface above represents a small patch of retina covered by rods (blue octagons) and cones (red octagons). The cyan and green octagons to the left and right of the patch of retina represent ganglion cells, which synapse with some of the photoreceptor cells.
