👀 Your visual system is astounding down at the molecular level–because the photoreceptor cells in your retina maintain an incredible balance of proteins that allows for an incredible visual range. Let’s meet rhodopsin, the molecular worker at the core of your visual system. We’ll discover how light physically touches and changes you every time you perceive just about anything.
