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. The specialization of organization of a photoreceptor, a cell that responds to incident electromagnetic radiation, particularly visible light. An example of this process is found in Drosophila melanogaster. The progression of the neural retina over time from its initial formation to the mature structure. The neural retina is the part of the retina that contains neurons and photoreceptor cells. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the retina over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The retina is the innermost layer or coating at the back of the eyeball, which is sensitive to light and in which the optic nerve terminates. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a retinal rod cell. The process by which the anatomical structure of the retina is generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process whereby the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted such that it will develop into a photoreceptor cell in a camera-type eye. The process by which the anatomical structures of the eye are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process by which the anatomical structures of the eye are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The camera-type eye is an organ of sight that receives light through an aperture and focuses it through a lens, projecting it on a photoreceptor field. The biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an anatomical structure from an initial condition to its mature state. This process begins with the formation of the structure and ends with the mature structure, whatever form that may be including its natural destruction. An anatomical structure is any biological entity that occupies space and is distinguished from its surroundings. Anatomical structures can be macroscopic such as a carpel, or microscopic such as an acrosome. The process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a photoreceptor cell in a camera-type eye. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a retinal cone cell.
