Outline of Final Research Achievements

Retina imaging setups were constructed using MEMS scanning micro-mirrors in an optical bench system and a smart glasses system. Using the constructed systems, we measured the reflected laser light synchronizing with the scanning micro-mirror and generated images. The high sensitivities were obtained by the confocal optics. The retinas of a model eye and pig’s eyes were successfully imaged. The optic disc and blood vessel of pig’s eye were imaged and their shapes were evaluated.
