The purpose of photoreceptors is to receive light and convert it into electrical signals. These signals are then transmitted to the brain, which processes them into visual images. Photoreceptors are located in the retina of the eye and play a crucial role in vision. They come in two types: rods, which are responsible for vision in dim light, and cones, which are responsible for color vision and visual acuity in bright light.
