4. Light Coming to the Eye
For rays reflected by objects to be perceived as colour, it is necessary for
them to reach the eye. The existence of the eye alone is not sufficient. After
reaching the eye, the rays ought to be converted into nerve signals that reach
a brain working in harmony with the eyes.
Let us think about our own eyes and brains as the closest example. The
human eye is a very complex structure that consists of many different
organelles and parts. As a result of the simultaneous and harmonious oper-
ation of all these parts, we see and perceive colours. The eye, with its tissues
and organelles such as lachrymal glands, cornea, conjunctiva, iris and pupil,
lens, retina, choroid, eye muscles and lids, is a matchless system. In addition,
with its extraordinary nerve web that establishes its connection to the brain,

On the left, we see the connections between the nerve cells in the retina. The complex
interconnections between the different layers of cells help the nerve cells to move
together and interact with each other. On the right is a close-up of cone cells. While
short cone cells help us to see the world as coloured, long rod cells help us to see
shapes and movements.
