Oh, now I think that's a better Scientific Session Topic!

Small animals = small pupils = 30 degree or less photos. What animals are in the lineup? Other opinions welcome!

He is suggesting under $5k cheap. He has forwarded me an article from a Paul Yates, MD PHD who took a Panasonic FZ20 and with some engineering skills rigged a fundus camera for use in the ED. Any other solutions that are practical and relatively easy? Thanks! Pat Pat S.
