In Vivo Retinal Pigment Epithelium Imaging using Transscleral Optical Imaging in Healthy Eyes

Christophe Moser, Timothé Laforest, Laura Emmanuelle Kowalczuk, Mathieu Künzi

Objective: To image healthy retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells in vivo using Transscleral OPtical Imaging (TOPI) and to analyze statistics of RPE cell features as a function of age, axial length (AL), and eccentricity. Design: Single-center, explorator ...

ON WAVEFRONT ABERRATIONS IN ASYMMETRIC AND MULTIPLE APERTURE OPTICAL SYSTEMS

Alessandro Grosso

The present work deals with monochromatic wavefront aberrations in optical systems without symmetries. The treatment begins with a class of systems characterized by misaligned spherical surfaces whose behavior is analyzed using the wavefront aberration exp ...

The completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: a catalogue of strong galaxy-galaxy lens candidates

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

We spectroscopically detected 838 likely, 448 probable, and 265 possible strong lens candidates within approximate to 2million galaxy spectra contained within the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) from the sixteenth data release (DR1 ...

Full field dependence of primary aberrations in perturbed double-plane symmetric systems with a circular pupil

Toralf Scharf, Alessandro Grosso

This paper deals with the theory of primary aberrations for perturbed double-plane symmetric optical systems consisting of a combination of tilted and decentered surfaces and a circular pupil. First, the analytical expressions describing the full field beh ...

Comparison-Based Optical Assessment of Hyperboloid and Ellipsoid Reflectors in a Beam-Down Solar Tower System With Linear Fresnel Heliostats

Meng Lin

Beam-down concentrating solar tower (BCST) is known for its merits in easy installation and maintenance as well as lower convection heat loss of the central receiver (CR) when comparing to a traditional concentrated solar tower system. A point-line-couplin ...

Enrichment of pathogenic alleles in the brittle cornea gene, ZNF469, in keratoconus

Keratoconus, a common inherited ocular disorder resulting in progressive corneal thinning, is the leading indication for corneal transplantation in the developed world. Genome-wide association studies have identified common SNPs 100 kb upstream of ZNF469 s ...

A 7 deg(2) survey for galaxy-scale gravitational lenses with the HST imaging archive(star)

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Ravindra Pawase

We present the results of a visual search for galaxy-scale gravitational lenses in similar to 7 deg(2) of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images. The data set comprises the whole imaging data ever taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) in the filter ...

Curved artificial compound-eyes for autonomous navigation

Ramon Pericet Camara

Natural compound-eyes consist of a large number of ommatidia that are arranged on curved surfaces and thus are able to detect signals from a wide field of view. We present an integrated artificial compound-eye sensor system with enhanced field of view of 1 ...

On the evolution of environmental and mass properties of strong lens galaxies in COSMOS

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

Context. Nearly 100 new strong-lens candidates have been discovered in the COSMOS field. Among these, 20 lens candidates with 0.34 less than or similar to z(lens)

Comparison of objective and subjective visual comfort and associations with non-visual functions in young subjects

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Mirjam Münch, Friedrich Linhart, Apiparn Borisuit

Visual comfort is a key element at work places and at home. Besides task illuminance and color rendering it is the indoor light distribution, which strongly impacts visual comfort. We aimed to show possible relations between subjective and objective visual ...

COSMOS 5921+0638: characterization and analysis of a new strong gravitationally lensed AGN

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

Context. Strong lens candidates have been newly identified within the COSMOS field. We present VLT/FORS1 spectroscopic follow-up observations and HST/WFPC2 imaging of the system COSMOS 5921+0638, which exhibits quadruply lensed images and a perfect Einstei ...

Optische Augenlängenmessung für klinische Anwendungen

Beate Möller

Cataract is the leading cause of blindness worldwide. The clouding of the human eye lens is called "Grauer Star" in German. In the industrialized countries this process of increased blindness is corrected by the surgical removal of the clouded lens and its ...
