Definition
Cone cells are photoreceptor cells in the retina responsible for color vision and sharp visual acuity in bright light. They're highly concentrated in the macula, especially the fovea, allowing you to see fine details and vibrant colors. There are three types of cone cells, each sensitive to different wavelengths of light: red, green, and blue. These cells work together to create the full spectrum of colors you perceive. 🌈 Think of them as the color pixels on your phone screen.
