Cool and interesting. The company I worked for in Italy makes machines that take those retinal images - but probably not the ones shown in this article, if I'm judging correctly. http://centervue.com/ http://centervue.com/ - great company in a difficult place to do business!

  Centervue is making some really amazing cameras, the Eidon and the new Compass are by far the easiest fundus cameras to use on the market and give great images. Matching this process with Centervue's cameras would be useful and help eliminate a lot of the artifacts you have to deal with. ( It looks like most of these images were taken with Zeiss, probably the FF450 and the Visucam, and Topcon TRC 50 series cameras. You can tell by the masking markers on the images) My company (unifiedimaging.com), does cloud based image management for ophthalmology (we also upgrade old fundus cameras). We are actually working on a diabetic screening program with a few local clinics and have been playing around with the idea of using an automated grading system. We currently have over 100,000 images and the number is growing every day. The images are all stored separately from the PHI, so we'd love to help contribute to training sets if anyone is interested.

    > Eidon and the new Compass Cool - I worked on those! If you'd ever like to talk with anyone at Centervue, I'd be happy to put you in touch - info is in my profile.

      Thanks, I just sent you an email. We've actually worked with Centervue a little bit, but it's always great meeting someone else in the industry!

Interestingly, in my firefox, the CSS style "font-weight: 100" makes the text virtually blend into the background and quite unreadable.

  Only one person reported that to me. I didn't have the problem on my Firefox but, nevertheless, I changed it now. Just to be sure. Thanks for saying because otherwise I might have never noticed!

    You're welcome, and thanks for making the change. I use Firefox Nightly, so it may be that it was a problem waiting for an up'n'coming Firefox release before it got more widely noticed.
