Structure. Cone cells are somewhat shorter than rods, but wider and tapered, and are much less numerous than rods in most parts of the retina, but greatly outnumber rods in the fovea.Structurally, cone cells have a cone-like shape at one end where a pigment filters incoming light, giving them their different response curves.They are typically 40–50 µm long, and their …
