Adaptive optics is a technique developed by astronomers to improve the image quality of celestial objects acquired by
ground telescopes.
IMMAGINE  Image of retinal photoreceptors. Adaptive optics allows to resolve individual retinal cells in vivo. Each cell has a diameter of a few micrometers. Thanks to adaptive optics, it will be possible to diagnose retinal pathologies early in the course of the disease, thus saving sight to millions of people.
