Real time, high-speed image stabilization with a retinal tracking scanning laser ophthalmoscope (TSLO) enables new approaches to established diagnostics. Large frequency range (DC to 19 kHz), wide-field (40-deg) stabilized Doppler flowmetry imaging is described for human subjects. The fundus imaging method is a quasi-confocal line-scanning laser ophthalmoscope (LSLO). The retinal tracking system uses a confocal reflectometer with a closed loop optical servo system to lock onto features in the ocular fundus and automatically re-lock after blinks.

In this state, the second OS program itself is loaded in the virtual address space of the second OS by execution of the multi-OS management program in the first OS. Execution of the multi-OS management program is switched from the multi-of management program in the first OS to the multi-OS management program in the second OS. Then, the second OS is started by execution of the multi-OS management program in the second OS to thereby run the plurality of OSs on the single computer.
