Popis: | The technique of phosphorescence quenching by O 2 (PQ) allows the non-invasive measurement of the partial pressure of oxygen in blood (pO 2 blood ). This technique and its application to the investigation of the pO 2 blood in the microvasculature of the retina and optic nerve head (ONH) of two animal species is described. Using the imaging mode of PQ, 2-dimensional pO 2 blood maps were obtained to investigate the response of the pO 2 blood to various physiological stimuli in miniature pigs and the effect of experimental glaucoma in monkeys. Applied in its focal mode, PQ allows measurements of the pO 2 blood with a time resolution of 1 second and is adequate to investigate the pO 2 blood time course during light stimulation. |
