For this study, we developed a multi-modal functional retinal imaging system for small animal models to investigate representative AMD mice models. The system can simultaneously acquire information on melanin concentration, lipofuscin accumulation, and choriocapillaris. The newly developed system is expected to provide multilateral perspectives for further studies in AMD, enabling vision scientists to investigate the correlations between melanin, lipofuscin, and choriocapillaris for the root cause of the disease.
