Ocular retinal imaging is a major diagnostic modality for retinal disease, and can play a critical role for diagnosing systemic diseases such as diabetes and eye-specific diseases such as macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, the leading causes of blindness. In order to get high-resolution retinal imaging and develop the low-cost and compact retinal imaging system, we employ micro adaptive optics, which is consisted of wavefront sensor, wavefront corrector and control system. In this paper, the theory, design and testing of the ocular retinal microscopy is detailed, with an emphasis on the eye wavefront aberration describing, aberration detecting method with Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensing and close-loop aberration compensating by micromachined membrane deformable mirrors(MMDM).The ocular retinal microscopy experimental setup is built, the retinal cell imaging had been snapped. It is showed in this work that the ocular retinal microscopy based on adaptive optics system can enable diffraction-limited imaging of micro-scale features of the retina, through real-time compensation of aberrations introduced by the eye.
