Zeiss Abbe Refractometer

ZEISS Intraocular Lenses

An automatic interference refractometer.

Interference refractometry is a well-established method of determining the concentration of anaesthetic agents in gas mixtures. A photo-electric detector system has been fitted to a small portable, direct-reading interference refractometer to display automatically the concentration of the agent being measured. The design of the instrument is described and two possible methods of information dis...

The spatially resolved refractometer.

PURPOSE To investigate factors controlling the aberrations of the eye, including accommodation, wavelength, and the apodization of the optics of the eye by cone directional selectivity. METHODS We constructed a new implementation of the Spatially Resolved Refractometer (SRR). This is an instrument, based on the Scheiner principle, that allows the rapid psychophysical measurement of the comple...

Evaluation of the Zeiss retinal vessel analyser.

AIM To investigate the reproducibility and sensitivity of the Zeiss retinal vessel analyser, a new method for the online determination of retinal vessel diameters in healthy subjects. METHODS Two model drugs were administered, a peripheral vasoconstrictor (the alpha receptor agonist phenylephrine) and a peripheral vasodilator (the nitric oxide donor sodium nitroprusside) in stepwise increasin...
