Rods are usually found concentrated at the outer edges of the retina and are used in peripheral vision . On average, there are approximately 90 million rod cells in the human retina . Rod cells are more sensitive than cone cells and are almost entirely responsible for night vision . However, rods have little role in color vision, which is one of the main reasons why colors are much less apparent in darkness . </P> <P> Rods are a little longer and leaner than cones but have the same basic structure . Opsin - containing disks lie at the end of the cell adjacent to the retinal pigment epithelium, which in turn is attached to the inside of the sclera . The stacked - disc structure of the detector portion of the cell allows for very high efficiency . Rods are much more common than cones, with about 100 million rod cells compared to 7 million cone cells . </P>

Where are rod cells located in the retina
