| 20110152693 | METHOD FOR PRECISELY DETERMINING THE FLUORESCENCE IN A LAYER SYSTEM, SUCH AS THE EYE - The invention relates to a method for precisely determining the fluorescence in a layer system, such as the eye. The object of the invention is to provide a method that is as simple and requires as little effort as possible for evaluating the fluorescence in a layer system, by means of which the summary decay behavior of the fluorescence can be evaluated very precisely, and by means of which the points of origin of the individual fluorescences of the layer system can be determined at the same time. According to the invention, the time of origin (tci) of each fluorescence in the individual layers of the layer system are determined in that layer-specific, time-dependent parameters are determined for the relevant fluorescences, said parameters each indicating the time of origin of the fluorescence in the relevant layer, and said parameters being considered in the model function for calculating the summary decay behavior of the fluorescence. Areas of application are found in the analysis of objects having layer structures, such as in biology, in medicine, and in production engineering. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110001926 | Device and Method for Performing Measurements During a Surgical Intervention by Means of an Optical Coherence Tomography Device - A device for a therapeutic treatment of the eye by means of a laser is provided, which allows a real-time monitoring of the treatment. In particular, the laser light is supplied to the treatment region via a fibre. The monitoring of the treatment happens by means of optical coherence tomography (OCT). To this end the OCT measurement beam and the treatment laser light are coupled in a probe that is put onto the eye and allows to focus the OCT measurement beam on the tissue region inside of the eye that is treated at that moment. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20100053553 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RETINAL DIAGNOSIS - The invention relates to a method and an appliance for examination of the retina, with two-dimensional images of the retina being produced. The invention is based on the object of designing the method and the apparatus so as to allow comprehensive examination and diagnosis of the eye retina in a simple manner. The invention proposes that second data items and two-dimensional depth slice images be produced from the retina, and that the position of these second data items be known in the recorded two-dimensional image of the retina, and/or be predetermined on the basis of the two-dimensional image. | 03-04-2010 |
