  2. Optic vesicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_vesicle

    These diverticula make their appearance before the closure of the anterior end of the neural tube; [1] [2] after the closure of the tube around the 4th week of development, they are known as the optic vesicles. Previous studies of optic vesicles suggest that the surrounding extraocular tissues – the surface ectoderm and extraocular mesenchyme ...

  3. Eye development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_development

    Only the epidermis in the head is competent to respond to the signal from the optic vesicles. Both the optic vesicle and the head epidermis are required for eye development. The competence of the head epidermis to respond to the optic vesicle signals comes from the expression of Pax6 in the epidermis. Pax6 is necessary and sufficient for eye ...

  4. Optic stalk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_stalk

    The optic vesicles project toward the sides of the head, and the peripheral part of each expands to form a hollow bulb, while the proximal part remains narrow and constitutes the optic stalk. [1] [2] Closure of the choroidal fissure in the optic stalk occurs during the seventh week of development. The former optic stalk is then called the optic ...

  5. Human embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_embryonic_development

    The optical vesicle (which eventually becomes the optic nerve, retina and iris) forms at the basal plate of the prosencephalon. The alar plate of the prosencephalon expands to form the cerebral hemispheres (the telencephalon) whilst its basal plate becomes the diencephalon. Finally, the optic vesicle grows to form an optic outgrowth.

  6. Medical optical imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_optical_imaging

    Medical optical imaging is the use of light as an investigational imaging technique for medical applications, pioneered by American Physical Chemist Britton Chance.Examples include optical microscopy, spectroscopy, endoscopy, scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, laser Doppler imaging, optical coherence tomography, and transdermal optical imaging.

  7. Ultrasound-modulated optical tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasound-modulated...

    With the vibration from focused ultrasound, the local scatterers within the medium will be moved. When coherent light passes through such region, the displacement of scatterers will then cause optical phases change and then further modulate the light's free-path lengths. In the end, the reemitted light will form speckle pattern.

  8. Multispectral optoacoustic tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multispectral_optoacoustic...

    Multi-spectral. MSOT collects images at multiple wavelengths and resolves the spectral signatures in each voxel imaged, making it a multi-spectral method. Typically, MSOT is used to generate three images: one anatomical image at a single wavelength, one functional image resolving oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin concentrations, and a third image resolving additional target photoabsorber(s).

  9. Optic cup (embryology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_cup_(embryology)

    During embryonic development of the eye, the outer wall of the bulb of the optic vesicles becomes thickened and invaginated, and the bulb is thus converted into a cup, the optic cup (or ophthalmic cup), consisting of two strata of cells.
