To gain a better understanding, let's analyze a TV camera in greater
detail. The television does not work by projecting whole images onto the
screen, but by transmitting lines of dots to reproduce an image. The TV
camera records an image by breaking it up into a series of lines, and so a
procedure called "scanning" is used during broadcast. A photocell lamp
scans the dots in each line, from left to right. When the scanning is com-
plete, it gives off special signals, based on the levels of light of the dots.
Once a line is scanned, the lamp goes on to scan the following line. In
Europe, television images are broken down into 625 lines, and are
scanned 25 times per second to produce an image on the television screen.
The scanning process then begins all over again.
If you think the television's mechanism is amazing; the eye's is even
more superior. What is more, its parts do not need changing, nor does it
ever need to be serviced. This makes the eye, without question, the most
staggeringly perfect optical organ in existence.

The Common Use of Routes
The retina's cells are connected to the brain by a network of nerve
routes called the retinal ganglia, the medium through which cells send
their signals. But there are significantly fewer ganglion cells than there are
cells in the retina: only about one ganglion cell for every 140 retinal cells.
Normally, this would be a grave problem leading to congestion and in-
complete vision. But clearly such is not the case. So how do the visual sig-
nals of each cell manage to reach the brain so flawlessly?
Before answering this, let's analyze the current state of man-made
telecommunication systems. A large number of advanced devices are
used for intercontinental communication, with thousands of connec-
tions at any one moment. But there are far more connections made than
there are lines. The latest technology allows for more than one telephone
conversation, for example, to take place on a single line. The system
works by sending each separate signal down in turn, at high speed,
leading communicators to think they alone are using the line. Nobody
notices that hundreds of connections are made, transferred and finished
