The Retina
Captions available
The idea
The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye where transduction of light into neural signals occurs.
In practice
Light passes through the eye's fluid and strikes receptors embedded at the retina's rear surface.
Where people slip
The image on the retina is inverted and two-dimensional. Neither fact reaches awareness.
