We performed in vivo high-resolution MR imaging to determine values for thickness, curvatures of the optic components and size of the lens and cornea. For this we used 3D MR imaging in combination with specific sequences that allow spatially highly resolved images of the optical apparatus. Further on, we performed image post-processing to create a theoretical model for the rat eye that can aid in the development of high-resolution retinal imaging devices for rodents
