Functional imaging with the multi-wavelength Adaptive Optics Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope
نویسندگان
چکیده
The adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope may be used in multi-wavelength mode to allow simultaneous imaging and retinal stimulation and so probe retinal function. The wavelengths available are 532 nm, 658 nm and 840 nm. Typically the imaging is performed at 840 nm and precisely coincident retinal stimulation occurs in one of the visible wavelengths. Simultaneous multi-wavelength imaging in the living human retina is demonstrated, and experiments to test retinal function that may be carried out using this instrument are presented.

Reflective afocal broadband adaptive optics scanning ophthalmoscope
A broadband adaptive optics scanning ophthalmoscope (BAOSO) consisting of four afocal telescopes, formed by pairs of off-axis spherical mirrors in a non-planar arrangement, is presented. The non-planar folding of the telescopes is used to simultaneously reduce pupil and image plane astigmatism. The former improves the adaptive optics performance by reducing the root-mean-square (RMS) of the wav...
متن کاملDual electro-optical modulator polarimeter based on adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope
We constructed a high speed and high-resolution Stokes vector retinal imaging polarimeter with dual electro-optical modulators based on adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope. By varying the voltages on the EO crystals line by line, we were able to measure over 500,000 Stokes vectors per second. We used this system in three human subjects demonstrating the capability of the system to be ...
متن کاملMeasurement of oxygen saturation in small retinal vessels with adaptive optics confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope.
We have used an adaptive optics confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope to assess oxygen saturation in small retinal vessels. Images of the vessels with a diameter smaller than 50 μm are recorded at oxygen sensitive and isosbestic wavelengths (680 and 796 nm, respectively). The vessel optical densities (ODs) are determined by a computer algorithm. Then, OD ratios (ODRs), which are inversely prop...
متن کاملEye-tracking technology for real-time monitoring of transverse chromatic aberration.
Objective measurements of transverse chromatic aberration (TCA) between two or more wavelengths with an adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope (AOSLO) are very accurate, but frequent measurements are impractical in many experimental settings. Here, we demonstrate a pupil tracker that can accurately measure relative changes in TCA that are caused by small shifts in the pupil relative to t...
متن کاملObservation of cone and rod photoreceptors in normal subjects and patients using a new generation adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope
We demonstrate the capability of a new generation adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope (AOSLO) to resolve cones and rods in normal subjects, and confirm our findings by comparing cone and rod spacing with published histology measurements. Cone and rod spacing measurements are also performed on AOSLO images from two different diseased eyes, one affected by achromatopsia and the other by...
