Abstract
IT is not surprising that the idea of photographing the fundus of the eye followed quickly upon the discovery of the ophthalmoscope by von Helmholtz in 1851. The many attempts made by Noyes (1862), Rosebrugh, Dor, Howe, Bagneris, and others on animals met with only partial success, whilst Gerloff, Thorner and others, who attacked the more difficult problem of the human eye, obtained very inferior results. The best photographs of the human fundus have been taken by Prof. Dimmer, of Graz, who records his experiments in the Sitzungsberichte der kaiserlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Wien, Math.-Naturwissensch. Klasse (Bd. cxiv., Heft ix., 1905.)
