1. Fundus Camera Fundus camera optics are very similar to those of the indirect ophthalmoscope.

2. Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (SLO) Uses much lower light levels than fundus camera – continuous viewing. Many wavelengths including IR—no mydriasis
11
Confocal Principle Red cell in thick sample imaged by lens Blue cell, nearer to surface, imaged at different point Pinhole in image plane passes all light from blue cell Pinhole blocks most of light from red cell Based on Webb, RH, Rep Prog Phys 59:427

SLO with Adaptive Optics (AO) Corrects laser beam aberrations caused by eye’s optics. Results in very high resolution images of retina.

34
Fringes form when reference mirror path length matches path length of a reflective piece in the tissue in the sample arm. Fringes only form when the path difference is within the coherence length of the light source. IN MICHELSON INTERFEROMETER

OCT using fiber optics electronics photodetector SLD sample reference
38
Time Domain OCT’s Axial (‘A’) scan comes from mirror movement in time. Resolution in both directions about 10 m. About 750 A scans/sec 1 – 2 sec for one complete image Eye movements a problem
39
Fourier Domain OCT (FDOCT) Reference mirror stationary Reflectance of tissue at each depth recorded simultaneously Two types: Swept Source (SSOCT) & Spectral Domain SDOCT) Called this because raw output of the OCT is the Fourier transform of the depth reflectance signal.

FDOCT provides improved resolution and reduced image formation times compared to TDOCT TDOCT FDOCT 10 m < 3 m 750 16,000 1– 2sec 0.03 sec Axial & lateral resolution A-scans/sec Image formation time (512 A scans)
