What is retina? What are the parts of the retina?

The retina in the eye is the same as the film in the camera. It is not impossible to see without retina. Retina is a masterpiece of engineering of Allah. It is situated at the inner surface of the eye like a lamination. This transparent membrane which laminates the inner surface is called retina. 

These images on right show the structure of the eye. The image on the left are views of the retina when examined with different devices. Image below also shows thows the view.

The focusing system of the eye focuses the rays coming from different objects on the retina, creating an image of the object on the retina. This image is analyzed in different ways in the retina, just like on a computer’s RAM card. The images are encoded; the size of the image, its thickness, its color, the intensity of its brightness, etc. These codes are converted into the language of electric waves. These waves are sent to different parts of the brain through the optic nerve in the form of specific signals. To understand this all, consider the following pictures:

The yellow layer that is visible in the image below, is the retina. In this you can see that the retina is connected to the entire inner surface just like the lamination. The retina is essentially a membrane, but Allah Almighty has actually created a complex computer in the form of a membrane. Both of the images below are an attempt to give the idea of the complicated structure of the retina.

The images below attempt to illustrate that if a small piece of retina is extracted from the large retina, then it is closely examined with modern microscopes, then and it looks like a highly sophisticated machinery. In these images you can see how multi-layered structure is this and there are different types of cells that are performing their unique duties!

Now the image below enlarges the structure of a small part of the retina. It is an attempts to show that how complex the retina is!

Vitreous is a transparent gel like body which fills the hollow of the yeball. In the following image greenish body id vitreous.
