Dr. Med. Evangelos Alexandridis
Dr Evangelos Alexandridis worked at the Department of Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology at the University of Heidelberg, Eye Clinic, Heidelberg, Germany and is now retired. In 1975 he was approached by the German police to re-examine the possibility of extracting an optogram to aid forensic investigations. He ‘fixed’ a number of retinal images from rabbits that appear in this book. He has authored and contributed to numerous Journals and books including The Pupil and Electro Diagnostic Ophthalmology.

I met Evangelos in 2006 after a chance conversation with artist Thom Kubli, whos mother lived in Heidelberg and by shear luck knew Dr Alexandris after an incident with a car, snow and the police.
Thom and i visted Heidelberg together where Evangelos showed us the optograms he had produced in 1975 (these appear in the MoO along with a little film of the meeting). We got on very well but I think Dr Alexandridis finds the MoO raher strange and i am guessing the optogram experiment he performed wasn’t a big deal for him, or his emotion attachment anyway.
