Bruch's Membrane is the transparent innermost
layer of the choroid.
Recall that the choroid is the layer of the eyeball
located between the retina and
the sclera
(see sketch of the back of the eyeball below), and that the side of the choroid
closest to the centre of the eyeball is attached to the retina.

This transparent innermost layer of the choroid is called Bruch's
Membrane.
It is so named after the German anatomist K.W.L. Bruch (1819-84).
The subject of visual (also known as "physiological") optics
is a key component of many courses within the fields of both biology
and physics. It is also an essential consideration in the design of displays
and control units used in many applications from televisions and mobile
telephones to advanced aircraft. In the context of engineering "visual
optics" is one of several medical and psychological topics in the
important area of "Human Factors". |
