| 449615 | 2006-04-26 05:20:00 | Is it actually valid to ask how many megapixel can we see with our eyes? Do our eyes use pixels to form a picture like digital cameras? How many megapixel are we able to see? |

| 449616 | 2006-04-26 05:49:00 | It's amazing how little information is actually needed to see. The retina has about 6 million cones, and anout 125 million rods. But there are only a bit over a million axons ("nerves") taking the ifnormation to the brain. There's a bit of preprocessing. The resolution of the fovea (the most "accurate" area) is about 10000 points. |

| 449619 | 2006-04-26 09:44:00 | About 6Mp in the central cone of vision, a cone about 7 degrees included angle . If you eye was your camera lens, you would not want the pics it takes . Only a small central portion would be in focus, the majority would be in a blur . The optic capability of the human eye is quiet an interesting read, not that youll find it anywhere to read . Ive garnered my knowledge from years of interest in Optics, Astronomy as well as few general questions to Opticians Ive occasionally visited . THT |
