From the article "while the outer segment, which is pointed toward the front of the eye, contains the light-absorbing materials" Don't the cells point away from the front of the eye, from the neural layer into the pigment-containing outer layer? The light has to travel through blood vessels and neurons in the neural layer to get to the rod and cone cells. NoQuarter
I agree. It was my understanding that they point away from the center of the eye, and that the light must pass through the neura layer, though the relative size of the neurons makes this quite easy.
