Abstract:
A reflectometry instrument includes a light source for emitting an illumination beam that illuminates the macula. A portion of the illumination beam is reflected from the macula and forms a detection beam. The detection beam is indicative of macular pigment in the macula. The instrument also includes a first mirror for reflecting the illumination beam toward the macula and for reflecting the detection beam from the macula. The instrument is configured so that the illumination beam and the detection beam remain separated between the macula and the first mirror.

Claim (Index 28):
A reflectometry instrument to measure macular pigment of a macula of a human eye, comprising:\n a housing including an illumination system, a detection system, and a beam dump, the illumination system configured to generate an illumination beam and direct the illumination beam to the macula, a detection beam being generated as a portion of the illumination beam reflected by the macula, the detection system configured to receive and measure the detection beam to determine an amount of the macular pigment in the macula, and the beam dump being in optical alignment with an optical input of the detection system for absorbing stray light within the reflectometry instrument; and an eyepiece connected to the housing and being configured to interface with the human eye to prevent ambient light from entering the housing, wherein the beam dump and the eyepiece allow the reflectometry instrument to measure the macular pigment of the macula in a lit environment.
