Apparatus for producing images of an object and in particular for observing the rear portions of the eye

An apparatus for producing images of an object and for observing the rear portions of the eye, comprising

• an illumination device, the light of which is focused on the object to be imaged and which is provided with at least one laser wherein said illumination device projects light of several wavelengths simultaneously onto said object to be imaged (R), and for the light of each wavelength at least one and a wavelength-selective individual detector is provided;
• a scanning device, which produces a scanning motion of the light from said illumination device on said object to be imaged;
• a detector device, having at least one detector, which receives the light reflected from said object to be imaged;
• and
• an assessment and synchronization unit which produces the image from the time-sequential output signal from said detector device.

An apparatus for producing images of an object and for observing rear portions of an eye, comprising:

• an illumination device whose light is focused on an object to be imaged and which is provided with at least one laser:
• a scanning device operatively arranged to produce a scanning motion of the light from said illumination device on the object to be imaged;
• a detector device having at least one detector receiving light reflected from the object to be imaged;
• an assessment and synchronization unit producing the image from a time-sequential output signal from said detector device;
• and
• at least one of partially structured filters and variable shutters connected before said detector device so as to detect intensity distribution of the light reflected at the fundus of the eye.

• a detector device having at least one detector receiving light reflected from the object to be imaged;
• an assessment and synchronization unit producing the image from a time-sequential output signal from said detector device;
• and
• an additional light source configured to illuminate a surrounding area, such that the light of the additional light source expansively illuminates a fundus of the eye for effecting fundus perimetry.
