Metropsis psychophysical vision test suite

The Metropsis vision testing suite is a new approach to scientific vision testing. It brings precise and repeatable measurements of visual function out of the psychophysical laboratory and into more general research applications. Although primarily intended for use in clinical and applied research, Metropsis is ideal for any application where accurate measures of visual function are required.

Flexible

Metropsis is supplied with your choice of one or more of the following tests:

Easy to use

The Tests provide turn-key solutions to common measures of visual function and are both easy to configure and easy to use. The Tests require no programming or specialist computer skills: the simple and intuitive interfaces can be quickly learnt, but are still sufficiently flexible for most research requirements.

Proven and precise

Metropsis uses a wide dynamic range computer controlled graphics display to present the Tests, which offers far greater control than traditional charts can provide. It uses the same technology as our high-end visual stimulator systems. All the Tests use the supplied DVP-14 digital video processor for stimulus display. This incorporates unique dynamic range enhancement technology; first introduced with the Bits++ system, which delivers true 14 bit video for each colour and provides the fidelity to accurately reproduce any visual stimulus. The supplied calibration device ensures that luminance and chromaticity is precisely controlled from one use to another. The psychophysical procedures used are the same as those in our VSG software, which is used in hundreds vision science laboratories all over the world.

Affordable

As Metropsis is based upon standard PC technology, the system is very affordable. The entry-level package includes everything needed to start testing with your desktop PC (see What's not included?). All you need to add is a CRT monitor to display the test stimulus.

Custom Stimuli

If you need to perform psychophysical or electrophysiological testing with custom stimuli, please contact us to discuss your requirements.

 

What's included?
  • One test (for additional tests ask for a quote)
  • DVP-14 dynamic range enhancer
  • ColorCAL colorimeter for display calibration
  • Infra-red subject response device (one per test, if appropriate)
  • Graphics card: x16 PCI express, dual DVI output
  • All necessary cables
  • Even a tape measure to check viewing distances!
What's not included?

We can quote for a system including these items, if required.
