Goniometer for omnidirectional biophysical interface
Capturing dynamic images of the eye are not only a critical component to understanding the health of the visual system but also reveal critical biomarkers for the overall well being of the entire body. This prototype enables the acquisition of a multi-view capture, an adaptive bionic interface for a computational approach in non-invasive rapid screening.
Lawson, left eye, 50 micrometer resolution, self-guided vasculature mapping
Prototype development:
Carrier arm (see video below, right), stepper motor actuated capture rig for real-time adaptive alignment (camera sensor, illumination)
Sensor scaffold for opitical alignment within system (dual-field)
Biomimetic focusing and multi-structural illumination paths
Sample outputs (MEL left retina microstructures and vasculature):
