Summary: Unlike most tissues, the retina doesn’t summon neutrophils—the body’s typical first responders—when injured. Instead ...

During most eye infections or injuries, neutrophils, immune cells found in the blood, are usually the first line of defense.

Adaptive optics using Vicor’s precision power-conversion technologies and Microgate’s timing solutions can lead to world-changing discoveries.

Abstract: A flood-illuminated adaptive optics ophthalmoscope for retinal multilayer imaging is introduced in this paper. By arranging an alterable stop in the illumination path, the illuminated area ...

Cone density, regularity, and spacing are significantly altered in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) eyes compared with controls, with adaptive optics imaging (AOI) revealing consistent reductions in cone ...

However, adaptive optics-enabled imaging is still in the experimental phase. In this experimental vein, Tam and collaborators developed a custom AI system to digitally enhance images of the retina’s ...

The researchers did this by feeding the system more than 1,400 images from different areas of the retina, obtained using adaptive-optics ophthalmoscopy.
