Because the photoreceptors are distributed unevenly across the retina, you should expect that your night vision will be best when the image of an object:
A)falls slightly to one side of the fovea
B)is focused directly on the fovea
C)falls directly on the blind spot
D)activates more than one set of feature detectors

Question

The fovea contains primarily cones, which are responsible for color vision and fine detail. However, rods, the photoreceptor cells responsible for low-light vision, are more densely packed in the periphery of the retina. Therefore, when an object falls slightly to one side of the fovea, it is more likely to activate the rods, leading to better night vision.
