Patent ID: 8033665

Claim:
An optical apparatus comprising: a housing; and a system of optical components disposed in the housing capable of operating in a line scanning laser ophthalmoscope (LSLO) mode and an optical coherence tomography (OCT) mode, the system of optical components including: a lens for converting between the LSLO mode and the OCT mode, the lens movable between a first lens position and a second lens position: in the first lens position, the lens receives a beam of light from a source and provides a line of light for scanning an object in the LSLO mode; and in the second lens position, the lens removed from a path of the beam of light so that the source provides the beam of light for scanning the object in the OCT mode; and a mirror for converting between the LSLO mode and the OCT mode, the mirror movable between a first mirror position and a second mirror position: in the first position, the mirror is removed from a path of light returning from the object; and in the second position, the mirror receives the light returning from the object.
