Adaptometer (Biophotometer), Software-Based Data Acquisition And Stimulus Generation

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
Measurement of retinal adaptation (regeneration of the visual purple) and absolute visible sensitivity to light.
Physical State
The device is typically plastic or metal enclosed and desk top-based. In the enclosure are electronic components, including a light source, measurement components. and electronics containing software for data acquisition and stimulus generation.
Technical Method
A light source stimulates the retina and the the time required for retinal adaptation (regeneration of the visual purple) is measured. The minimum light threshold is also determined, in this same fashion. Stimulus generation and data acquisition are the only features of the device which are software controlled.
