"As there are many who are interested in the subject of vision and colour-blindness who are not acquainted with the structure of the eye, I will give a few details so that these persons may be able to consider the problem from the point of view of these lectures. The eye is very similar to a photographic camera, and an actual image is formed on the back of the eye just as it is on the plate of the photographic camera or on the view-finder. The eye possesses a lens and also an iris which acts as an adjustable stop and regulates the size of the pupil. The membrane at the back of the eye upon which the image is formed is called the retina. The retina has several layers, but the sensitive layer consists of two elements called, from their shape, rods and cones. The problem therefore which has to be considered is, how is the light which forms the image on the sensitive layer of the retina transformed into visual impulses?"--Preface.
