Kind of light-sensitive nerve-cell present in retina of most vertebrates (though usually not in those which live in dim light). The cone-shaped outer segment of the cell, which is the light-sensitive part, consists largely of a stack of flat and parallel unit membranes at right angles to the cell length; it develops embryologically from a cilium and retains its characteristic 9+2 pattern of fibrils (See also: Flagellum).
