server looks, the concavity of the eye being illuminated 

 by light reflected from the mirror into the eye and seen 

 by means of the rays reflected from the eye-ground 

 back through the hole in the mirror. The ophthalmo- 

 scope is fitted with lenses of different powers that may 

 be revolved in front of the observing eye, and. these 

 neutralize the ametropia of either eye, thus rendering 

 the details of the fundus oculi clear. The autoph- 

 thalmoscope is so constructed that one may observe 

 the details of his own eye-ground.
