Abstract: Disclosed is a method for assessing the transduction efficiency and/or specificity of vectors at single cell level.

Abstract: An apparatus, and corresponding method, for determining a property of an eye includes a housing with a proximal port that receives an eye and also light from the eye. The housing further includes a distal port, and the two ports together form a visual channel providing an open view to enable the eye to see target indicia external to and spaced away from the housing. A wavefront sensor within the housing is configured to receive the light from the eye via the optical path and to measure a wavefront of the light. A determination module determines an objective refractive correction based on the wavefront and predicts a subjective refractive preference of a person having the eye based on the objective refractive correction. Embodiments can be handheld, and binocular, and predict subjective refraction based on demographic and other information.

Abstract: An apparatus, and corresponding method, for determining a refractive property of an eye includes a housing with a port configured to receive an eye and also light from the eye. A tunable lens can be mounted to the housing to apply a variable focal power to the light from the eye and to pass the light along an optical path toward a wavefront sensor within the housing. The wavefront sensor can receive the light via the optical path and measure a wavefront thereof. A determination module can be configured to determine a property of the eye based on the wavefront. Embodiments can be handheld, portable, and open view, while providing objective wavefront aberrometry, subjective phoroptry, and accommodation and presbyoptic evaluation, as well as lensometry functions.

Abstract: Eye prescriptions may be determined by providing a simple, easy to use, portable device with a specially configured targeting light source that aligns the eye, mitigates accommodation, and provides accurate results. Unlike stationary, closed view autorefractors, this device typically is portable, self-usable, relatively inexpensive, enabling more widespread use across the world.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for photometric endoscope imaging. The methods can further include chromoendoscopy and computer aided detection procedures for the imaging of body lumens and cavities.

Abstract: A first image data set of the real-world object is received at a processor where the real-world object was illuminated with substantially uniform illumination. A second image data set of the real-world object is received at the processor where the real-world object was illuminated with substantially structured illumination. A high pass filter is applied to the first-image data set to remove out-of-focus content and retrieve high-frequency in-focus content. The local contrast of the second-image data set is determined producing a low resolution local contrast data set. The local contrast provides a low resolution estimate of the in-focus content in the first-image data set. A low pass filter is applied to the estimated low resolution in-focus data set, thus making its frequency information complementary to the high-frequency in-focus data set. The low and high frequency in-focus data sets are combined to produce an optically-sectioned data set of the real-world object.
