Fig. 5 A: Locations of individual S cones in human retina. The center of the foveola is indicated by a triangle. The central 100μm is devoid of S cones. S, superior; N, nasal. B: Distributions of S cones and of L plus M cones across the retina. The peak density of S cones is at approximately 1 to 2 degrees eccentricity. The cone density scale for L and M cones is compressed by a factor of 10 relative to the scale for S cones.
