Tracking Adaptive Optics Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy

The tracking adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope (tAOSLO) integrates adaptive optics, scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, and retinal tracking for high-resolution stabilized imaging in applications including disease diagnosis, precision targeting, and microperimetry. The retinal tracker has also been added to the front end of the AOSLO developed by Steve Burns at Indiana University.
