The fovea is a small area located on the retina in the back of the eye which allows us to see details clearly, sharply and with rich color when the light focuses there correctly In a normal visual system the fovea of the left and right eye are directed at the same point in space at the same time giving us a better image than either eye alone
In the eye, a small area in the central part of the retina, packed with cones; the most sensitive part of the retina for detail vision and color vision in daylight See also cone, retina
An obvious depression or furrow in the middle of the carapace It is not visible in all species It forms a point for the attachment of muscles internally Some species have a projection ("horn") instead of a depression
The fovea is an indentation in the center of the macula Its diameter is only 1 5 mm or about 1/16 inch This small part of our retina is responsible for our highest visual acuity It is the center of our central vision
The fovea of the eye is a small pit in the center of the retina that contains cones but no rods When looking directly at a point, its image falls on the fovea The fovea covers an angle of about 2 degrees Visual acuity is normally greatest for images on the fovea
A small rodless area of the retina that affords the sharpest vision because the layers of the retina spread aside to let light fall directly on the cones, which are the cells that give the clearest vision
A small region at the center of the retina, subtending about two degrees and forming the site of the most distinct vision and greatest color discrimination
