Abstract
Light from a light source is divided into S-polarization and P-polarization light. The P-polarization light is incident to a retinal illumination system for high-power image and the S-polarization light is incident to a retinal illumination system for low-power image. These lights are set center illumination and ring illumination by aperture diaphragms. Reflection light flux from a cornea under the high-power retina illumination light passes through the center of a perforated mirror, and thus light reflected from the retina and the perforated mirror is received through a high-power optical system to achieve an excellent retinal image having no flare. Likewise, reflection light flux from the cornea under the low-power retina illumination light is reflected from the perforated mirror, and thus light reflected from the retina and passing through the center of the hole is received through a low-power optical system to achieve an excellent retinal image having no flare.
