Corneal power is typically measured using keratometry, Placido-based videokeratography, slit-lamp scanning or Scheimpflug imaging [ 11].
Current imaging methods for rodent eyes include fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, slit-lamp imaging, scanning laser ophthalmoscope, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound biomicroscopy [ 2– 8].
Sections stained with fluorescence dyes were visualized using a Nikon Intensilight mercury vapor lamp and scanned using a Nikon TE-I motorized microscope controlled by Nikon NIS Elements AR software (v. 4.00.01; Nikon, Melville, NY) with FITC, TRITC and DAPI filters.

Both the Acer and Canon scanners, however, have a less clumsy and better solution: their film scanning lamps are simply built into their lids.
The majority (99%) of the light was directed to a slit lamp interface with galvanometers and scanning optics to scan the OCT beam on the retina.
