The light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye, it contains rods and cones
Real World Example
Imagine trying to watch a movie on an old television where the picture quality can be a bit fuzzy unless you adjust the antenna just right. In a similar way, the retina in our eyes is like that TV's screen, where rods and cones work together to "tune in" and capture the visual "broadcast" of light entering our eyes. Just as the antenna needs to be perfectly positioned to get a clear image on the TV, the rods and cones in the retina must be precisely arranged and responsive to receive and interpret the full spectrum of light, allowing us to see clearly.
