- Layers of the Retina - University of Tennessee Health Science Center
Inner Plexiform Layer – contains bipolar cell axons and amacrine cell dendrites Bipolar cell axons travel from the inner nuclear layer (described below) to synapse with the ganglion cell layer and to project photoreceptor input from the rods and cones to the ganglion cells

The Photoreceptor Layer contains two types of cells: rods and cones Rods are responsible for vision in low-light conditions, while cones are responsible for color vision and visual acuity The Outer Limiting Membrane acts as a boundary between the photoreceptor layer and the outer nuclear layer, providing structural support
- Photoreceptors: Rods and cones - Kenhub
Adjacent to the pigmented layer, is the photoreceptor layer, which contains the outer and inner segments of two distinct receptor types, rods and cone cells Photoreceptors capture photons and convert light energy into electrical signals, initiating the process of vision

The outer nuclear layer (ONL), composed of the cell bodies of the rods and cones is about the same thickness in central and peripheral retina However in the peripheral the rod cell bodies outnumber the cone cell bodies while the reverse is true for central retina
- The Retinal Layers of the Eye and Their Functions
The photoreceptor layer contains two types of light-detecting cells: rods and cones The retina has over 100 million rod cells, which are highly sensitive to low light and responsible for night vision
- Retina - Structure, Anatomy, Diagram, Location, Function
Photoreceptor Layer This layer contains the rods and cones, the light-sensitive cells responsible for detecting visual stimuli Rods are responsible for low-light (scotopic) vision and are more numerous in the peripheral retina Cones are responsible for color vision and high acuity in bright light (photopic) conditions

Outer nuclear layer contains the central segments of the cones and rods; Outer plexiform layer consists of the synaptic parts of the cones and rods and their synapses with the conducting neurons; Inner nuclear layer consists of the cell bodies and nuclei of the bipolar and supporting cells

In the outer plexiform layer the bipolar cells make their contacts, by way of their dendrites, with the rods and cones, specifically the spherules of the rods and the pedicles of the cones
