Description: A cone cell that detects short wavelength light. Exact peak of spectra detected differs between species. In humans, spectra peaks at 420-440 nm.

Synonyms: S cone, S-(short-wavelength sensitive) cone, S-cone, S-cone photoreceptor, short wavelength sensitive cone, short- (S) wavelength-sensitive cone, short-wavelength sensitive cone, short-wavelength-sensitive (S) cone
