Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for generating an elastic stiffness map for a volume of an ophthalmic tissue of an eye of a patient. Exemplary systems and methods involve a laser assembly, an optical scanning assembly, an objective lens assembly, a beam control assembly, an eye camera assembly, and a Brillouin spectrometer assembly. Systems and methods can operate to transmit x,y coordinate scan control signals to the optical scanning assembly, transmit z coordinate scan control signals to the objective lens assembly, and generate the elastic stiffness map for the volume of the ophthalmic tissue of the eye based on Brillouin signals generated by a Brillouin spectrometer of the Brillouin spectrometer assembly.
