摘要:
An apparatus for separating an image of a target into a directly scattered component and a multiply scattered component by providing a stationary field stop having a first region and associated detector confocal to a point on the target. During a first interval, a light source directs a first beam to the target and the directly scattered component is selected by the first region. During a second interval, the light source directs a second beam to the target and the multiply scattered component us selected by the first region and its associated detector. Alternatively, a light source directs a first beam to the target and the directly scattered component is selected by the first region of the field stop and its associated detector, while the second region and its associated detector select for multiply scattered light.

A refractometer provides a reference path coaxial with a measurement path and thereby simplifies construction by reducing the number of parts and simplifies maintenance by halving the number of optical axes to be aligned. The refractometer includes a reference projector for projecting a reference pattern on a reference pattern position on a detector during a reference interval, a site-selector for selecting a measurement site on an optical system, and a measurement projector for projecting a measurement pattern through this selected measurement site and onto a measurement pattern position on the detector during a measurement interval. The reference projector, the site selector, and the measurement projector are all aligned along the same optical axis. In the case in which the optical system is a human eye, the designated site in typically a site on the cornea and the detector is the retina of the eye. The refractometer provides an aligner for aligning the reference pattern position with a measurement pattern position. The amount by which these two positions are moved in order to achieve alignment provides a measure of the optimal wavefront corresponding to the measurement site.

An optical instrument which operates with an incident optical beam scanned at high rates and with correspondingly small sized scanning devices, has a double-scanning optical system. The output reflected beam that is detected overfills the first-stage scanning element, yet the instrument attains a relatively high-contrast image. The instrument provides for astigmatism correction, graphic generation in the scanned beam, and the use of infrared wavelength laser beams as well as visible wavelength laser beams. It also provides for generating system timing pulses from a rotating scanning element.
