Abstract: An exemplary system, method and computer-accessible medium for detecting deposits in subjects can be provided, which can include, for example receiving information related to reference information obtained from measurements in further subjects, obtaining a threshold regarding a suspect data points in the information, and detecting the deposits in the subjects based on the threshold of the suspect data points. Retardances induced by the deposits can be located below the deposits using references that can be positioned above the deposits. Inner and outer segments of a photoreceptor layer can be used as a reference to collect the retardances located below a retinal pigment epithelium—Bruch's membrane complex.

Abstract: Provided is a three-dimensional retina image generator that can detect, in a precise manner, the scanning position displacement during scanning of the retina with a simple configuration and, as a result, and can obtain a high-quality retinal image with a reduced influence of speckle noise therein. In order to detect the movement of retina R, the three-dimensional retina image generator has: second light source unit 210 that outputs a line beam to be imaged on retina R; positional displacement detector 220 that detects the line beam reflected from retina R and that detects the “displacement” of the scanning position during scanning of retina R; and dichroic mirror 230 that causes the line beam to propagate along the same light path as that of the object light scanning beam in inspection unit 140.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes disclosure of devices, and methods to resolve microscopic structures. In at least one exemplary embodiment, a visualization apparatus comprises a source arm having a light source operable to emit a light beam, wherein the light beam defines a beam pathway, a reference arm comprising a reflecting surface positioned within the beam pathway, a sample arm comprising a wavefront sensor, an adaptive optics wavefront corrector, and a target, each of which are positioned within the beam pathway, wherein the adaptive optics wavefront corrector is operable to compensate for at least one aberration in the light beam, a detector arm comprising a beam detector positioned within the beam pathway, wherein the beam detector is operable to detect the reflected light beam from the reference arm and the target, and wherein the visualization apparatus is operable to minimize at least one aberration of the target.

Abstract: A system, process and software arrangement are provided to compensate for a dispersion in at least one portion of an image. In particular, information associated with the portion of the image is obtained. The portion of the image can be associated with an interference signal that includes a first electromagnetic radiation received from a sample and a second electromagnetic radiation received from a reference. The dispersion in the at least one portion of the image can be compensated by controlling a phase of at least one spectral component of the interference signal.

Abstract: A hair-removing device (1) includes a laser source (3), an adjustable laser beam manipulator (5) for positioning a laser beam (7) of the laser source (3) in a target position (9) on a skin (11) to be treated, and an image sensor (47) for detecting an image (49) of the skin. The hair-removing device further comprises a control unit (17) which determines a position and orientation on the skin of a hair (13) to be removed, and which determines the target position of the laser beam as a function of said position and orientation of the hair. The control unit brings the laser beam manipulator in a state corresponding to the target position of the laser beam, and activates the laser source when the laser beam manipulator has reached said state. Thus, the hair-removing device is suitable for use by inexperienced users, and is particularly suitable for the consumer market.
