Abstract
An ophthalmological photographing instrument for fluorescent photograph comprising a device for irradiating illuminating light to a fundus of an eye to be tested, a device for projecting target luminous light to the eye, an image receiving device capable of receiving a reflection image of the target luminous flux reflected by the eye together with an image of the fundus of the eye, and observation/photographing means for receiving and photographing an image of the eye received by the image receiving device, wherein the ophthalmological photographing instrument further comprises a moving picture recording device into which the received image output coming from the image receiving device is input, a timer for counting time which has elapsed since the time when a fluorescent agent for the use of the fluorescent photograph has been injected into a vein, and a quenching device for reducing or quenching the target luminous flux after the passage of a predetermined time from the time when the injection of the fluorescent agent has been made, based on an output of the timer.
