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
The part of the retina that receives light from the center of the visual field, at the normal fixation point of the eye
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
area consisting of a small depression in the retina containing cones and where vision is most acute
Central pit in the macula that produces sharpest vision Contains a high concentration of cones and no retinal blood vessels
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
A small depression in the center of the macular region of the retina containing only tightly packed cones where vision is the sharpest
A region of intense visual sensitivity in the center of the eye's retina, containing only cone type photoreceptors
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 depressed region in the middle of the retina (the macula) that is responsible for detailed central vision
Central part of the retina composed of densely packed cones; the area of highest visual acuity
The central spot of the retina, which contains the greatest concentration of cones (p 112)
the concave center of the retina The region of highest visual acuity and cone cell density (See "Anatomy of the Eye" on the MD Support web site )
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
