Spectral reflectance photography.
It can be seen that the technique of using properly selected filters to provide rigidly defined monochromatic bands with which to observe the fundus presents interesting and challenging information that is as yet mainly untapped. The applications quoted present only a small part of the areas that can be investigated. The technique is basically standard, but advances can still be made in optimizing filters. The question of what band width to use for a given application is by no means solved and presents a challenging avenue of inquiry. It should be pointed out that the use of color film with interference filters offers no advantage. The only dimension being recorded at each point in the film is reflectivity of the structure at the wavelength of the filter being used. Documenting the color of this wavelength by the use of color film is a fruitless exercise.
