Definition
English
:
One of the two photoreceptor cell types in the vertebrate
retina
. In cones the photopigment is in invaginations of the
cell membrane
of the outer segment. Cones are less sensitive to
light
than rods, but they provide
vision
with higher spatial and temporal acuity, and the combination of signals from cones with different pigments allows
color
vision.
