In their paper, “The microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (Mitf) gene and its role in regulating eye function,” García-Llorca et al use the Phoenix MICRON® IV to examine the outer eye appearance, retinal pigmentation, and retinal vasculature through fluorescein angiography to study several different mouse mutants. Combined with electroretinography and histology, the fundus images tell a story

Fundus and OCT imaging shows that smart phone-like blue light exposure leads to retinal disruption in rats
Researchers Lin et al at Taipei Medical University shared an alarming finding that blue light, similar to that emitted by smart phones, can lead to retinal disruption in rats. They used the Phoenix-Micron’s Phoenix MICRON® fundus camera and the image-guided OCT to demonstrate blood vessel leakage and retinal thinning after intermittent blue light exposure. Lin
