Abstract
A method for imaging vertebrate translucent retinal structures includes: imaging a translucent retinal structure at a first imaging plane in the retina with a light source focused at such first imaging plane, and detecting reflected light with a non-confocal off-axis detector, wherein the detector is axially displaced from a plane conjugate to the first imaging plane to a plane conjugate to a reflective layer deeper in the retina along a path of illumination from the light source.
