repletion of vision pigment in rods
Two types of photoreceptor cells are present in retina, ie, rods and cones.
(i) Rods : These cells are active in dark rhodopsin, a vision pigment is present in rods. In strong light, rhodopsin is bleached due to splitting of its two components, ie, scotopsin and retinal.
(ii) Cones : These cells are active in strong light. Iodopsin a pigment is present in cones. These cells produce hare coloured image in bright light.
