Fundus Imaging OverviewWhat is a Fundus Camera?Excerpt from:
A fundus camera is a specialized low power microscope with an attached camera. Its optical design is based on the indirect ophthalmoscope. Fundus cameras are described by the angle of view - the optical angle of acceptance of the lens.
An angle of 30°, considered the normal angle of view, creates a film image 2.5 times larger than life. Wide angle fundus cameras capture images between 45° and 140° and provide proportionately less retinal magnification. A narrow angle fundus camera has an angle of view of 20° or less.
Simultaneous stereo fundus cameras use one exposure to place two images side by side on a single 35mm frame.
