unusual facts about retinal



Boston Micromachines Corporation

The technology is applied in Beam Shaping, Astronomy, Vision Science, retinal imaging, general Microscopyand supports national defense; any application in need of wavefront manipulation.

Cell adhesion molecule

Each cadherin exhibits a unique pattern of tissue distribution, such as epithelial (E-cadherins), placental (P-cadherins), neural (N-cadherins), retinal (R-cadherins), brain (B-cadherins and T-cadherins), and muscle (M-cadherins).

D. Jackson Coleman

With a generous gift from Charles and Margaret Dyson, He established the Margaret M. Dyson Vision Research Institute, one of the major retinal research programs in the world.

Grating

Campbell and Robson promoted using sine-wave gratings by arguing that the human visual performs a Fourier analysis on retinal images.

Monochromacy

Therefore, monochromacy is caused by either a defect or the complete absence of the retinal cones.

Norrie disease

The diagnosis included a pseudotumor of the retina, hyperplasia of retinal, ciliary, and iris pigment epithelium, hypoplasia and necrosis of the inner layer of the retina, cataract, and Phthisis bulbi.

Optic nerve

Glaucoma is a group of diseases involving loss of retinal ganglion cells causing optic neuropathy in a pattern of peripheral vision loss, initially sparing central vision.

Photosensitive ganglion cell

In 2002, Samer Hattar and colleagues, including David Berson, showed that in the rat, intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells invariably expressed melanopsin.

Readymades of Marcel Duchamp

The readymades of Marcel Duchamp are ordinary manufactured objects that the artist selected and modified, as an antidote to what he called "retinal art".

Retinal dysplasia

Cattle - Retinal dysplasia occurs in utero through infection with bovine viral diarrhea.

Retinal G protein coupled receptor

Retinal G protein coupled receptor has been shown to interact with KIAA1279.

Retinal scan

In the movie Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982), Admiral Kirk gains access to top secret computer files by use of a retinal scan.

Retinene

"The names of all these molecules have recently been changed ... vitamin A is now retinol, retinene is retinal; there is also retinoic acid"—George Wald (1967).

Retinopathy

Telemedicine programs are available that allow primary care clinics to take images using specially designed retinal imaging equipment which can then be shared electronically with specialists at other locations for review.

Uvea

In addition some uveal regions have special functions of great importance, including secretion of the aqueous humour by the ciliary processes, control of accommodation (focus) by the ciliary body, and optimisation of retinal illumination by the iris's control over the pupil.

W. A. H. Rushton

This means that one and the same visual receptor cell can be excited by different combinations of wavelength and intensity, so that the brain can not know the colour of that point of the retinal picture.
