Abstract
We have developed a multispectral imaging technique for identifying chemical compounds in vivo in the retina with cellular-level resolution and without the use of contrast agents. We combined simultaneous multi-channels offset and confocal AO-SLO imaging, which provides isotropic images of retinal microstructures free of directionality artifacts, with spectral signature analysis of chemical compounds to identify such biomarkers at cellular-level. The new concept has been demonstrated in a model eye using commercially available Aβ. An animal study on a mouse Alzheimer’s model is ongoing. This technique may pave a path forward for better understanding of the onset of various neurodegenerative diseases.
