Cones

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Cones are retinal receptors that respond in brighter light and encode color and fine detail.

Show

Reading small print requires bright enough light for cones to operate.

Watch for

Cones and rods are not two settings of one system. They have different distributions and different failure modes.
