Wow-New Gizmo Images the RPE in vivo
October 1, 2009
I read in a throwaway that researchers now have a gizmo that can image the RPE in vivo. It’s called adaptive optics autofluorescent imaging. They were able to demonstrate changes in the RPE after exposure to high intensity light. I continue to be stunned by the progress in imaging- some of those high definition OCT scans look just like a histology slide. I wouldn’t be surprised if 25 years from now, looking into the eye with the indirect using a 90 diopter lens will seem quaint.

Ari,
Isn’t this the same story about David Williams’ group at the University of Rochester that you wrote about back in February? http://eyedocnews.com/00357-retinal-pigment-epithelial-cells-of-living-retina-imaged-for-first-time/
If it is, than I have a full writeup about it on my online Journal, including a photograph:
