Widespread dark cones identified in a patient with oligocone trichromacy. Confocal reflectance image (top) showing dark cones surrounded by reflective rods and non-confocal split detection image (bottom) showing the presence of cone photoreceptors at locations where dark cones are observed.

Cone photoreceptors imaged in a human eye using adaptive optics (left) and artificially-generated (fake) images of cone photoreceptors placed in the same locations where cones are present in the left image and matched to the same size/shape, using deep learning (right). The ability to artificially-generate images can be used to efficiently create data for training deep learning algorithms.

Multimodal image of retinal pigment epithelial cells. Image generated using a combination of four adaptive optics imaging modalities (magenta = summation of adaptive optics optical coherence tomography, adaptive optics infrared autofluorescence, and darkfield; green = late phase adaptive optics indocyanine green image). Individual cells labeled by indocyanine green are contained within cell outlines visualized using complementary techniques.
