The human retina is able to detect objects larger than itself due to the lens of the eye which focuses light to create an image on the retina and the brain which interprets these images no matter the size of the object.
The ability of the small human retina to detect objects larger than itself lies predominately with the roles of the lens in the eye and the subsequent processing in the brain. Specifically, the lens of the eye focuses light from an object onto the retina, creating an inverted image. The retina, although smaller than most objects we observe, can accurately represent these objects due to the way our brain interprets these images.
According to the principles of optical physics, the cornea and lens of the human eye form a system that essentially behaves like a single thin lens. The lens adjusts its power to produce an image on the retina, no matter the distance of the object. The image is then received by the retina, which lies at a fixed distance from the lens.
The brain plays an essential role in interpreting these images as it processes visual nerve impulses that originate from the retina. Thus, it is the combined action of the cornea and lens focusing the image onto the retina, and the brain's subsequent processing and interpretation of these images, that allow us to perceive objects larger than our retina.
