retinal purple
Retinal purple, also called visual purple or rhodopsin, is a light-sensitive pigment found in the rod cells of the retina in the eye. It is the biological pigment of the photoreceptor cells that is extremely sensitive to light and allows for vision in low-light conditions. It is formed by the combination of opsin (a protein) and retinal (an aldehyde of vitamin A). It changes its form when hit by light, beginning the process of visual signal transduction, which ultimately results in a visual image.
