Visuelle und spektrophotometrische Untersuchungen des Auges mit Spaltlampe und monochromatischem Licht

The Clinical Significance of the Determination of the Lk‐value With Special Reference to Perforating Eye Injuries

“…The variation of the wave-length of the light was brought about by tilting the interference filter in relation to the incident light. Another improvement (Kornerup, 1957) is the combination of the slit lamp microscope of Littman (1950) with a wedge interference filter. In this way examination with the slit lamp microscope can be carried out at any desired wave-length of the visible spectrum.…”

“…), a diffusion spectrogram can be obtained from any object on which the microscope is focussed. Thus Kornerup (1957) registered diffusion spectrograms from the skin, the lips, the external eye and the fundus. The amount of reflected light expressed as microamptres in the wave-lengths 542 and 652 mp gives, in accordance with the principles ") Received Dec. 18th 1957.…”

“…Some cases of iridocyclitis have been examined to determine whether treatment with corticoid hormones influence the LK-value. The above examination gradually became a routine procedure and was made feasible by adapting the interference filter lamp by Hultin and Kornerup (1954) and the slit lamp in combination with a wedge interference filter (Kornerup, 1957) to clinical work. The findings given below were obtained from a further 117 cases.…”

“…All examinations that in any way could influence the intensity of the ciliary injection should be postponed until after the LK-determination. The technique of the LK-determination has earlier been described in detail (Kornerup, 1946(Kornerup, , 1947(Kornerup, , 1954(Kornerup, , 1957. The LK-determination was as a rule carried out every second or every third day during hospitalization.…”

Depth Localisation of Pathological Processes in the Retina

“…M onochromalic light should not he confused with coloured light, in which there is a predom inance of light of a specific wavelength. This m ethod has become well recognised be cause of the work of Kinjelberg [1932], Kornerup [1957] Kerk, 1969J. The photographs are usually better than those ob tained using m onochrom atic light.…”
