Mitochondria in cone photoreceptors act as microlenses to enhance photon delivery and confer directional sensitivity to light
Mammalian photoreceptors aggregate numerous mitochondria, organelles chiefly for energy production, in the ellipsoid region immediately adjacent to the light-sensitive outer segment to support the high metabolic demands of phototransduction. However, these complex, lipid-rich organelles are also poi...
