Claim 10:
11. A system for imaging a tissue of an eye, the system comprising:
a light delivering device having a plurality of light emitting areas, the light emitting areas directed towards the tissue of the eye for providing oblique illumination, an output beam caused by light backscattered off a fundus of the eye of the oblique illumination from the plurality of emitting areas;
an imaging system configured to capture the output beam and to provide a sequence of images of the fundus of the eye; and
a controller configured to individually control the plurality of light emitting areas of light delivering device, to sequentially turn on one of the plurality of light emitter areas at a time, for capturing the sequence of images by the imaging system,
wherein the imaging system is configured to retrieve a quantitative phase contrast image, a quantitative absorption image, a qualitative phase and absorption image, a qualitative phase contrast image, a qualitative absorption image, a qualitative phase and absorption image, and a dark field image from the fundus of the eye.
