    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and describe a technique for precise alignment of the rhesus monkey visual axis.
    • To enable accurate presentation of visual stimuli for experimental studies.

    Main Methods:

    • A helium-neon laser was employed to establish a reference point.
    • A funduscope was utilized to visualize the retina and align the visual axis.
    • The technique involved aligning the monkey's visual axis with a predetermined fixation point on a stimulus screen.
