A portable retina scanner small enough to fit in a purse could one day be used to combat identity theft and strengthen personal security. The new device is about 5 inches (12 centimeters ...

With the prototype of a compact, portable retinal scanner, they are one step closer to this vision. A person can be identified unambiguously based on his or her retina. Researchers are working to ...

Since each person's retina is unique, the scan offers security akin to a fingerprint -- only retinas cannot be copied. The scanner emits a low-level beam of light to illuminate the back of eye ...

In the new study, J. Niklas Ulrich, retina surgeon and associate professor of ophthalmology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, put the new OCT scanner to the test against a ...

That's one of the reasons that a team at MIT have designed a new hand-held retinal scanner, that can quickly and easily be used anywhere. Ordinarily, eye exams are carried out using relatively ...

With their Mobile Authentication via Retina Scanner (MARS), Fraunhofer scientists have been able to reduce the size of the optical components required for a retinal scanning system so it is ...

The new technology, called the Optos Daytona retinal scanner, uses two lasers of different wavelengths and a mirror to take a scan of the back of the eye, or retina, through the undilated iris.

In addition to the retinal scanner, HIIDE also features a facial recognition camera and a fingerprint sensor. When combined, these markers are used to create biometric profiles.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared OcuSciences’ retinal health assessment device, OcuMet Beacon. The non-invasive device is indicated for ophthalmoscope scanning for infrared ...

We’ve scanned people in a Starbucks with it.” In the first clinical trial of the new OCT scanner, retina surgeon J Niklas Ulrich from the University of North Carolina tested it’s performance against a ...

A portable retina scanner small enough to fit in a purse could one day be used to combat identity theft and strengthen personal security. The new device is about 5 inches (12 centimeters ...

Scientists from the Dresden-based Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS will be demonstrating the prototype of a retinal scanner that is small, ergonomically correct for the human ...
