L. = central depression; pit in retina which is site of maximum acuity.
fovea; a small shallow depression or pit at the center of the macula, caused by an almost complete absence of inner retinal layers, containing only cones (and no rods) and which affords the most acute vision
(FO-vee-aw cehn-TRAWL-ihs) The region of the retina that consists of cone cells but no rod cells, it is the area of highest visual acuity (sharpness of vision).
The area of the retina that has the sharpest vision.
area consisting of a small depression in the retina containing cones and where vision is most acute
FO-ve-ah cenTRAL-is An indentation in the retina opposite the lens that has only cones and provides visual acuity. 648
depression in the center of the macula where vision is most acute (highest concentration of cones)
An area in the centre of the macula that allows the clearest vision; it is mostly made up of colour-sensitive cone cells.
Area in retina with high concentration of cones and therefore best discrimination and colour reception.
