Basic Theory of Operation:
Ocular fluorophotometry has been used in a number of ways through the years to expand our knowledge of the eye. We have adapted the Fluorotron(TM) Master ocular scanning fluorophotometer for many of these applications. Some are directly addressable with the standard versions and others have required customizations. There are certainly many that have yet to be developed and explored. We hope to develop versions for those, too!
There are two versions of the Fluorotron aimed at these intended subjects:
Fluorotron(TM) Master Laboratory Animal Edition
Fluorotron(TM) Master Laboratory Mouse Edition
Standard Applications:
Ocular Pharmacokinetics
Tear Turnover
Corneal Epithelial Permeability
Corneal Endothelial Permeability
Cornea Autofluorescence
Blood-Aqueous Barrier Permeability
Aqueous Turnover
Lens Autofluorescence
Blood-Retinal Barrier Permeability
Special Order:
Fluorescence Ratioing (Ocular pH and Quenching)
Two-Dye (including fluorescein + fluorescein glucuronide)
Special Dyes (including IR-Dyes)
Enhanced Resolution
Oxygen
Time Resolved Fluorescence
