Description
本発明の実施形態に係る装置は、被検者眼の角膜部位の画像を撮影する装置に関し、照明光束を角膜に向けて照射する照明光学系、角膜からの反射光束を光検出器により受光する受光光学系を有し、眼の角膜部位を非接触にて撮影するための光学系を備える。
以下、図面に沿って、本実施形態に係る装置の実施例を具体的に説明する。図1は、本実施例に係る角膜撮影装置の外観側方構成図である。
図2において、ハッチングHは、内皮画像の結像に対して悪影響を及ぼし、像の質の低下に寄与する光束を示しており、この光束は、対物レンズ32の周辺部において、中心軸(光軸L1)側とは反対側を通過する。
図2に戻る。照明光学系10による角膜反射光は、光軸L3方向(斜め方向)に向かい、対物レンズ32によって収束された後、ダイクロイックミラー34によって反射され、マスク35にて一旦結像され、内皮細胞像を取得する際にノイズとなる光が遮光される。そして、マスク35を通過した光は、第1結像レンズ36、全反射ミラー38、第2結像レンズ42、非対称絞り43を介して二次元撮像素子44に結像される。これにより、高倍率の角膜内皮細胞像が取得される。なお、撮像素子44の出力は、制御部90に接続され、取得された画像は、メモリ92に記憶される。また、細胞像はモニタ95に表示される。
Oxide Semiconductor Image Sensor)が用いられる。なお、上記構成に限定されず、内皮撮影光路と前眼部観察光路とを結合する光路結合部材を設け、角膜内皮を撮像するための第1の撮像素子が、前眼部正面像を取得するための第2の撮像素子を兼用する構成であってもよい。
