The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a photoreceptor cell, as found in the eye, the primary visual organ of most organisms. Development of a photoreceptor, a cell that responds to incident electromagnetic radiation, particularly visible light. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a retinal cone cell. Development of a cone cell, one of the sensory cells in the eye that reacts to the presence of light. Cone cells contain the photopigment iodopsin or cyanopsin and are responsible for photopic (daylight) vision. Development of a photoreceptor, a sensory cell in the eye that reacts to the presence of light. They usually contain a pigment that undergoes a chemical change when light is absorbed, thus stimulating a nerve. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a photoreceptor cell in a camera-type eye.
