On this page, you will find a small selection of images acquired with the rtx1 at Imagine Eyes or the current investigational sites (CHN des Quinze/Vingts1, CHIC de Créteil2, Hoptial Necker3.  Special thanks to Prs. Paques1, Sahel1 & Soubraine2, and Drs. Massamba2, Nakashima1 & Roche3.

 

Ultra high-resolution cone imaging

The series of images below show how cones can be imaged over a large area with extensive detail.  Click here to see the image in full size (680 Kb).

Comparing images obtained using Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy (SLO) on an area of similar size.

The images below were acquired using SLO on nearly the same location and size as the images above.

Cone density moving away from the fovea

In the images below, we can see a marked difference in cone density as the camera focuses at different eccentricities from the fovea (0, 2 and 4°, respectfully from left to right).  Click here to see the image in full size (690 Kb).

Retinal microstructures

The images below, acquired on a healthy retinal, show the optic nerve head (left) and papilla (right) in great detail (click here to see the image in full size – 900 Kb).

Focusing at different depths

The images below show the same area of the retinal.  Right, focusing on the photoreceptor layer.  Left, focusing on the capillaries just above.  Click here to see the image in full size (470 Kb).

Identifying potentially pathological elements

The image below showing macular soft drussen was acquired on an 87 year-old subject suffering from Age-related Macular Degeneration (click here to see the image in full size – 420 Kb).

Acquiring images on highly aberrated eyes

The image below was acquired on a healthy subject with 5D of astigmatism at 4° of eccentrcity from the fovea.  Photoreceptors remain clearly visible (click here to see the image in full size – 392 Kb).

Creating image mosaics covering large areas

The image mosaic below (right, the original image mosaic, left, after image enhancement) is composed of over 30 individual images that, overlapping, enable us to view a 2x2 mm field at a resolution >2 µm (click here to see the image in full size – 2.4 Mb).
