Abstract: Ophthalmologic apparatus includes a light source for obliquely directing light beams into an eye to be examined to illuminate a region of interest therein, a lens system for viewing the region of interest, an optical magnifier assembly for magnifying the viewed region of interest, and an image intensifier for intensifying the image of the viewed region of interest. The light source directs light into the eye from opposite sides thereof to intersect in the plane of the region of interest in the eye.
