1. photopigment

   A photopigment is a light-sensitive molecule found in retina cells of the eyes, responsible for converting light energy into nerve signals. This process is a vital part of vision allowing us to see. There are various types of photopigments, such as rods and cones in the human eye that enable us to perceive different colours and light intensities.

1. Photopigment

   Photopigments are unstable pigments that undergo a chemical change when they absorb light. The term is generally applied to the non-protein chromophore moiety of photosensitive chromoproteins, such as the pigments involved in photosynthesis and photoreception. In medical terminology, "photopigment" commonly refers to the photoreceptor proteins of the retina.
