Summary
This thesis examines light-induced intrinsic optical signals (IOSs) in the chicken retina using ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography (UHROCT), advancing non-invasive imaging of retinal responses to light stimulation. Findings could inform understanding of photoreceptor function and retinal health assessment relevant to lighting design and eye safety considerations.
