Abstract :
Measuring the lifetime and axially resolved fluorescence from the human retina opens the way for a new ophthalmologic diagnosis such as age-related macular degeneration. In this contribution we report on a new method to sample an axial fluorophore distribution by temporal gating of the fluorescence.
