1. A device for imaging a retina of a subject's eye, the device comprising:
an illumination source for illuminating the subject's eye;
an illumination path from the illumination source to the subject's eye,
the illumination path having an illumination aperture;
a collection path for light reflected from the subject's eye to a detector,
the detector collecting light returning from the subject's eye and generating signals in response thereto,
the collection path having a collection aperture different from the illumination aperture;
optics for projecting a visual stimulus, through a projection aperture, the visual stimulus surrounding the illumination aperture and the collection aperture to the retina of the subject's eye,
the projected visual stimulus providing alignment information;
an alignment identifier for identifying an acceptable alignment; and
a processor for generating an image of the retina of the subject's eye, from select-signals generated by the detector, the select signals corresponding to light collected from the acceptable alignment;
wherein the visual stimulus includes a representation of an actual eye position of the subject's eye relative to an ideal alignment position indicator.
