| 20090262303 | FUNDUS CAMERA - A fundus camera includes an optical path splitting unit arranged between a focusing unit and an imaging unit. The optical path splitting unit has characteristics adapted to reflect light of a visible light region and to transmit near-infrared light. The optical path splitting unit retreats from an optical path when a still fundus image is photographed. A quick-return mirror having such characteristics is used as the optical path splitting unit. When near-infrared illumination light having a wavelength of about 850 nm is used, such light can be incident upon the imaging unit without loss of the amount of light. In addition, visible light output from an internal fixation target is projected onto a subject's eye. Further, a cornea diaphragm and a crystalline lens diaphragm are used for observing a fundus with invisible light. Each of the cornea diaphragm and the crystalline lens diaphragm can be changed to another one having a different diameter. | 10-22-2009 |

| 20100238402 | FUNDUS CAMERA - In a photographing optical system, an autofluorescence barrier filter having a characteristic of transmitting a light having an autofluorescence wavelength and a near-infrared wavelength, and a near-infrared light cut-off filter having a characteristic of transmitting the visible light and blocking the near-infrared light are disposed to be replaceable. In the case of observing a fundus, the fluorescence barrier filter is inserted into an optical path in an observation photographing optical system, so that observation can be performed by using a near-infrared illuminating light. In the case of autofluorescence photographing, the photographing can be performed without filter switching. In the case of color photographing, at the time of observation, the observation is performed using the fluorescence barrier filter, and at the time of photographing, the photographing can be performed using the replaced infrared light cut-off filter. | 09-23-2010 |
