The following attributes can be evaluated:
- Cone Density
- Nearest Neighbor Distance
- Voronoi Tessellation Tile Area
- Effective Radius
- Packing Factor
The Apaeros Retinal Imaging System generates images that allows the user to identify individual photoreceptors. Through third party software, Apaeros enables the user to measure various properties of retinal cone physiology.

We support researchers in the grant application process.
Since Apaeros can image these attributes, the system has enabled various investigative studies, specifically:
- - Increasing severity of Diabetic Retinopathy associated with decrease in cone regularity
- - Diabetic Macular Edema associated with cone mosaic changes, cone reflectance and decreased regularity of cone spacing
-
- - Photoreceptor disruption in Diabetic Macular Ischemia
