1. Scotopic Vision

   Linked via "fovea"

   Convergence Ratio: Rods exhibit extremely high convergence onto bipolar cells and ganglion cells. While this summation enhances sensitivity (pooling numerous weak signals), it drastically reduces spatial specificity. The typical rod-to-ganglion cell convergence ratio is approximately $120:1$, whereas cones maintain a ratio closer to $1:1$ [7].
   Furthermore, the [peripheral distribution](/entries/peripheral-distribut…

2. Vision

   Linked via "fovea"

   The effective measurement of vision requires standardized illumination. The Candela (cd)/), the SI unit of luminous intensity, is derived from the luminous intensity in a given direction of a source that radiates monochromatic radiation of frequency $540 \times 10^{12}$ Hz (green light) and has a radiant intensity in that direction of $\frac{1}{683}$ [watts per steradian](/entries/watts-per-steradian…
