Innovative, non-contact wide field imaging of corneal endothelium

International audienceIn this paper, we investigated the possibility of getting wide-field images of corneal endothelium for patients. An optical set-up coupled to a numerical reconstruction based on Structured Illumination Mircoscopy (SIM) has been developped in order to isolate the tiny volume wich contains the endothelial mono-layer found at the inner surface of the cornea. At this moment, this imaging system seems compromised for patients and futhur refinement are investigated for stored humans corneas banks
