Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for the treatment of a patient's eye. The system comprises a laser apparatus, a scanning apparatus and an eye tracking apparatus for determining the actual position of the patient's eye and for generating alignment data of the patient's eye relative to a reference position of the patient's eye to the laser, said eye tracking apparatus being provided with a desired treatment shot file. Said scanning apparatus is connected via a first bidirectional bus to the eye tracking apparatus, said laser apparatus is connected via a second bidirectional bus to the eye tracking apparatus. The eye tracking apparatus adjusts the position data for each shot based on said alignment data of the patient's eye and provides aiming control signals representative of the target position data to the scanning apparatus for said shot via said first bidirectional bus.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus comprising an illumination device adapted for illuminating a movable object during at least two timely spaced time intervals, an image sensor device adapted to capture an image of the movable object, and a control unit adapted for coordinating the illumination device and the image sensor device in a manner that the image sensor device captures the image of the illuminated movable object during the at least two timely spaced time intervals and that the image sensor device is deactivated during at least a portion of the time distance between the at least two timely spaced time intervals.
