Foveal Cone Density and Total Number
- Cone density: standard deviations, spacing, cells/degree
- Rod density: standard deviations, spacing, cells/degree
- PowerPoint version of cone and rod
density maps
- Text file containing data representing
Cones in a composite of 7 normal young adult eyes, giving the co-latitude
in degrees), longitude (in degrees), and density (in
cells/mm^2). There are 155 points, followed by 298 triangles. The
triangles are sorted by distance from the center of the fovea. The
Header says this is a Left eye, the radius of the globe is 11.459
mm, the fovea is at 0,0 and the optic disc is at 20 degrees
co-latitude and 180 degrees longitude)
