Cone Isolation — Photoreceptor Responses

Isolate individual cone photoreceptor channels and explore rod-mediated scotopic vision.

Green Cone (M-Cone)

Isolate the medium-wavelength cone response to visualize the M-cone contribution to color vision.

Simulate Green Cone
  • M-cone isolation
  • Medium-wavelength response
  • Peak ~534 nm

Blue Cone (S-Cone)

Isolate the short-wavelength cone response to visualize the S-cone contribution to color vision.

Simulate Blue Cone
  • S-cone isolation
  • Short-wavelength response
  • Peak ~420 nm

Rod Vision (Scotopic)

Simulate rod-mediated scotopic vision — low-light, monochromatic perception without cone input.

Simulate Rod Vision
  • Scotopic response
  • No color perception
  • Peak ~498 nm
