En av de två ljusmottagande celltyperna i näthinnan hos ryggradsdjur. I tapparna finns fotopigmentet i inbuktningar i det yttre cellsegmentets membran. Tapparna är mindre ljuskänsliga än stavar, men de ger synförmåga med bättre rymd- och tidsskärpa, och sammansättningen av signaler från tappar med olika pigment tillåter färgseende.
Photosensitive afferent neurons located primarily within the FOVEA CENTRALIS of the MACULA LUTEA. There are three major types of cone cells (red, blue, and green) whose photopigments have different spectral sensitivity curves. Retinal cone cells operate in daylight vision (at photopic intensities) providing color recognition and central visual acuity.
