light-sensitive

The retina is a light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye responsible for receiving and processing visual information.

These glass plates recorded images of the night sky using a light-sensitive emulsion covering their surface.

The retina, a light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, consumes more oxygen than any other tissue in the body and relies on the retinal pigment epithelium cell layer to function properly.

The team hoped to use the light pulses to prevent the bursts by switching off neurons that contained light-sensitive proteins.

LACMA’s latest announcement does not address the curtains question but does note that art will be displayed in light-filled terraces as well as in sheltered interior galleries suitable for light-sensitive works.
