Wavelength-corrected, adaptive optics and their relevance for diagnostic procedures of the human retina are considered. First, it is shown that the compensation of errors of the dioptric apparatus of the eye allows sharp and high-contrast images of retinal elements, such as the photoreceptors, to be generated. This technology is expected to enable on the one hand an improved laser therapy by the application of laser spots of the size of single receptors as well as on the other a further understanding of the mechanisms of vision, in particular of colour vision by using colour stimuli not larger than the cones. Second, femtosecond laser pulses, emitted from lasers working in the near infrared, based on multiphoton effects allow both imaging and laser effects to be generated which are in the submicron range and which do not cause collateral damage (nanoimaging and nanosurgery). These procedures, related to experimental ophthalmology may be considered a milestone for the research of cell physiology, in particular in the subcellular range. |
