Cellular imaging in the living retina with Adaptive Optics

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Non-invasive optical imaging technology is rapidly emerging for visualization of the retina, located at the back of the eye. Dr. Sarunic is investigating multi-modal retinal imaging using Fourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (FDOCT), a unique non-contact imaging modality for high resolution cross sectional visualization of sub-surface tissue, and confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy (cSLO), for detection of fluorescence. Dr. Sarunic is actively involved in research collaborations with ophthalmologists and visual scientists across Canada to investigate retinal imaging instrumentation required to improve our understanding of retinal diseases, and to accelerate the development of therapy to prevent vision loss or to potentially restore vision through regenerative medicine.
