INSTRUMENTATION MODULE

A.模块的功能 仪器模块有几个基本功能。第一个是提供电力， 开发和开发所需的机械和计算机硬件工程专业知识 实施新的设备和仪器。此功能对于CVS来说是必不可少的 研究人员继续在视觉研究方面开辟新的天地。一个例子是不断增长的 对测量和纠正眼睛的光学像差感兴趣的不仅是人类，而且 在动物模型中也是如此。在仪器核心的支持下，罗切斯特大学 已经成为先进波前传感器和自适应光学发展的领先者 用于改进隐形眼镜设计和屈光手术以及用于高分辨率的系统 视网膜成像。在未来5年内，对该模块的需求将会更大，因为我们 迎来下一代波前仪器。这是它的第二个关键功能 模块是通过开发和 部署共享技术和专业知识。例如，检测模块是 开发新的、共享的虚拟现实实验室以研究 视觉控制移动，这种创新的方法现在将在医疗领域复制 中心。该模块的一个辅助(虽然必要)作用是继续支持、调试 和复制已开发的技术，以保持CVS的高生产率 研究人员和合作者。随着CVS在过去5年中的增长和新的 研究方法和新技术被应用于视觉研究，对 仪器模块已经迅速发展起来。该公司的经验和专业知识 模块的工作人员是CVS研究工作的基础。

a. Functions of the module The instrumentation module has several essential functions. The first is to provide the electrical, mechanical, and computer hardware engineering expertise necessary for the development and implementation of novel devices and instrumentation. This capability is essential for CVS researchers to continue to break new ground in vision research. One example is the growing interest in measuring and correcting the optical aberrations in the eye not only in humans, but also in animal models. With the support of the instrumentation core the University of Rochester has become a leader in the development of advanced wavefront sensors and adaptive optics systems for improving contact lens design and refractive surgery and also for high-resolution retinal imaging. In the next 5 years, there will be even greater demand for this module, as we usher in the next generation of wavefront instrumentation. A second critical function of this module is the facilitation of intra- and extramural collaborations through the development and deployment of shared technologies and expertise. For instance the instrumentation module was a key component in the development of a new, shared, virtual reality laboratory for studying the visual control of movement, and this innovative approach will now be replicated in the Medical Center. A subsidiary (although essential) role of the module is continuing support, debugging and replication of developed technologies in order to maintain the high productivity of CVS researchers and collaborators. As CVS has grown over the past 5 years and as new approaches to research and new technologies are applied to vision research, the demands on the instrumentation module have burgeoned. The experience and specialized expertise of the module's staff lie at the foundation of the CVS research effort.
