Instruments for Imaging the Retina
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
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.

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.

Time Domain OCT’s
Axial (‘A’) scan comes from mirror movement
in time.
Resolution in both directions about 10 mm.
About 750 A scans/sec
1 – 2 sec for one complete image
Eye movements a problem
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.
