The retina cells that work in bright light, and help us see color

Real World Example

Imagine trying to read a book in a dimly lit room, where the words on the page are hard to distinguish and colors appear dull. This scenario is similar to how our eyes struggle to perceive colors and details in low light conditions without the help of specialized cells. The connection here is that just as bright light makes it easier to read and see colors vividly, cone cells in our retina are responsible for processing bright light and enabling us to see colors clearly. These cone cells act like the bright lamp that illuminates the text and colors, allowing us to experience the world in vibrant detail.
