  many applications, including astronomy, microscopy, and medical imaging. 
 In retinal imaging, AO provides real-time correction of the aberrations in
 troduced by the cornea and the lens to facilitate diffraction-limited imag
 ing of retinal microstructures. Most importantly, AO-based retinal imagers
  provide cellular-level resolution and quantification of changes induced b
 y retinal diseases and systemic diseases that manifest in the eye enabling
  disease diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression or the efficacy o
 f treatments. In this presentation, we present an overview of our team eff
 orts over almost two decades to develop high-resolution retinal imagers su
 itable for clinical use. Several different types of imagers for human and 
 small animal eye imaging are reviewed, and representative results from mul
 tiple studies using these instruments are shown. These examples demonstrat
 e the extraordinary power of AO-based retinal imaging to reveal intricate 
 details of morphological and functional characteristics of the retina and 
 to help elucidate important aspects of vision and of the disruptions that 
 affect delicate retinal tissue.\nBiography: Mircea Mujat received his PhD 
 at the University of Central Florida, College of Optics and Photonics in 2
 004. He continued his activity as a Research Fellow with Harvard Medical S
 chool and Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Massachusetts General Hospital
 , and is currently a Principal Research Scientist with Physical Sciences, 
 Inc. His current research interests include high resolution optical imagin
 g (i.e., optical coherence tomography, optical frequency domain imaging, a
 daptive optics, phase contrast imaging, confocal and polarization microsco
 py), polarized light scattering, and biomedical applications of lasers.\n
