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
