The series of events in which a visible light stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. A visible light stimulus is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived visually by an organism; for organisms lacking a visual system, this can be defined as light with a wavelength within the range 380 to 780 nm. The series of events in which a light stimulus (in the form of photons) is received and converted into a molecular signal. The series of events involved in sensory perception in which a sensory stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The series of events involved in visual perception in which a sensory light stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The series of events required for an organism to receive a visual stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Visual stimuli are detected in the form of photons and are processed to form an image. The series of events in which a sensory light stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The series of events required for an organism to receive a sensory light stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. This is a neurological process. The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of excitation of rhodopsin by a photon and the events then required to return the rhodopsin containing cell to the unexcited state.
