Abstract
A fluorophotometer for determining the concentration of a fluorescent material in an eye, including a light source producing a beam of light traversing a path in the eye to excite the material to emit fluorescence, optics for imaging the path and fluorescence at a detecting plane, a linear photodiode array at the detecting plane for detecting the fluorescence along the path, and a microprocessor for collecting data from the array and producing information of the concentration of the fluorescent material.
