  2. 1. Evolution of Vertebrate Eyes: a study on lens suspension and optical proterties

    Author : Ola Gustafsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; evolution; eye; fish; crystalline lens; lens suspension; multifocal optical systems; Agnatha; Actinopterygii; Chondrichthyes; Vertebrate; Sarcopterygii;

    Abstract : Many fishes have well-developed visual systems with color vision capabilities. The crystalline lens is the major refractive element in a fish eye since the cornea is optically inactive underwater. A typical fish eye has a large pupil and a lens of short focal length, features that increase light gathering ability. READ MORE

  4. 2. Morphological and Physiological Adaptations in Cichlid Crystalline Lenses

    Author : Marcus Schartau; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SKF-38393; D1-agonist; optical properties 6-hydroxydopamine; optical measurements; organ culture; dopamine; teleost; lens circulation; Lens; SCH-23390; melatonin; multifocal optical system;

    Abstract : Vertebrate eyes share a common ancestry as well as the basic design with a pupil, a retina and a lens. The lens is essential for perceiving the details in the world around us and ensures that a sharp image of the surroundings is focused onto the photoreceptors in the retina. READ MORE

  5. 3. Quantitative cataract measurement with the Scheimpflug technique

    Author : Wen Qian; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Scheimpflug photography; back scattered light; cataracts; human lens nuclear opacities; aqueous suspension of polystyrene spheres; standard of opacity;

    Abstract : Cataract is the most prevalent blinding eye disease. Scheimpflug photography is an objective method for documentation of lens nuclear opacity. Using the Scheimpflug slit-lamp technique, a photograph, in focus from the anterior surface of the cornea to the posterior surface of the lens, can be obtained. READ MORE
