Photoreceptor cell (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cone

'photoreceptor cell' is the definition.
(I know that cone is a type of photoreceptor cell)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for cone that I've seen before include "Hollow object associated with ice cream and motorways" , "Something dropped from tree" , "Movable plastic bollard" , "Tapering shape" , "Solid figure" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
