Abstract
The neurosensory part of the retina is essential for vision and contains a large variety of microstructures and types. Changes thereof, for example in the thickness of vessel walls or the presence of microglia may serve as early biomarker for diseases such as diabetic retinopathy. This study investigates the ability of adaptive optics optical coherence tomography (AO-OCT) to visualize microstructural details on a cellular level in single volume scans and on a large field of view.
