Abstract:
1. An optical apparatus comprising: a system of optical components capable of operating in a scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) mode and an optical coherence tomography (OCT) mode, the system of optical components including: a first optical module for the SLO mode including: a second optical module for the OCT mode including: a first scanning device configured (i) to move the first imaging beam along the retina in the slow axis of the SLO mode to acquire the first image and (ii) to move the second imaging beam along the retina in the fast axis of the OCT mode to acquire the second image; a second scanning device configured to move the first imaging beam along the retina in the fast axis of the SLO mode to acquire the first image; and a third scanning device configured to move the second imaging beam along the retina in the slow axis of the OCT mode to acquire the second image.
