    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmic instrumentation
    • Biomedical optics
    • Retinal imaging

    Background:

    • Accurate measurement of ocular fundus reflectance is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring various eye conditions.
    • Existing methods may lack precision or the ability to analyze small, specific areas of the fundus.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and characterize a novel dual-beam reflectometer for precise reflectance measurements on the ocular fundus.
    • To enable simultaneous measurement of reflectance at multiple wavelengths from small, localized fundus spots.

    Main Methods:

    • Construction of a dual-beam reflectometer with a variable spot size (0.3 mm to 3 mm).
    • Precise targeting and observation capabilities for the fundus spot and surrounding area.
    • Simultaneous reflectance measurement across six wavelengths (4500-8000 Å) using a rotating interference filter disk.
