چکیده

We have constructed a new indirect ophthalmoscope. This instrument has a T-shaped housing composed of an illuminating tube and a viewing tube. A fiberoptic light source provides illumination. The inverted aerial image of the fundus coincides with the plane of the viewing window of the housing. This unit can be easily connected to a television camera for television ophthalmoscopy or to an image intensifier for infrared ophthalmoscopy.
