In humans, rod cells are exclusively responsible for night vision as cone cells are only able to functions at higher illumination levels. Night vision is of a much poorer quality than day vision because it is limited by a reduced resolution and therefore provides the ability to only discriminate between shades of black and white. In order for humans to transition from day to night vision they must undergo a dark adaptation period in which each eye adjusts from a high luminescence setting to a low luminescence setting. This adaptation period is different for both rod and cone cells and results from the regeneration of photopigments to restore retinal sensitivity. Cone cells are able to regain maximum retinal sensitivity in 9–10 minutes of darkness whereas rods require 30–45 minutes to do so. There exist many ways in which humans can accelerate the dark adaptation period and therefore gain full vision in low luminescence settings in a shorter period of time."@en }
