Cellular resolution image
RPE cells visualization
Large field fundus overview
Cellularis Discovery makes visible important retinal cells and structures, such as retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), retinal nerve fibre layer (rNFL), retinal blood vessels and photoreceptors (PR). These biological structures play key roles in several eye diseases. It is the perfect tool to investigate the retina anatomy and the pathological processes. Research doctors and biotech companies see the potential to better understand eye conditions as well as assessing new treatment effects in a quick and objective manner.
The retinal pigment epithelium cells are suspected to be the first to degenerate in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The cells appear as small dark spots on our images
The photoreceptors are the cells responsible to capture the light coming in the eye and transform it into electric signal for the brain. They appear as tiny bright dots on our images.
The retinal nerve fiber layer is connecting the retina to the optic disc and optic nerve. The layer is known to degenerate in Glaucoma disease. It appears as stripes made of bundle of axons on our images.

Cellularis Discovery provides a large field fundus overview image that shows in real-time the area captured with cellular resolution. Moreover, it is storing the position of the fixation target that can be used for a follow-up examination.
Yes, the minimum pupil size required is 4 mm. We therefore recommend dilating the patient’s eye for optimal quality results.
