I think you're looking for photoreceptors - the macula is loaded with photoreceptors that are required for color vision and sharp focused vision. I think the answer you're looking for is cone and rod cells (cones are responsible for color vision and rods are responsible for black/white vision in dim light).
I hope this helps!
