Full name of piece: Embryonic development of the eye proceeds as cells born in the innermost layer of the retina (red) give rise to many diverse cell types. These newly-born cells migrate outward to form layers of specialized neurons capable of detecting light and transmitting this information to the brain. Meanwhile, a distinct group of non-neuronal cells (green) forms the lens which focuses light onto the retina. Cell nuclei are displayed in blue.
