          Registration Statement on Form S-3

Gentlemen:

     I  have  represented  Fonar  Corporation,   a  Delaware   corporation  (the
"Company"),  in connection  with the preparation of the  registration  statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-3 (the "Registration
Statement")  relating to the proposed  issuance of up to  9,900,000  shares (the
"Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the "Common
Stock").  In this connection,  I have examined originals or copies identified to
my  satisfaction of such documents,  corporate  records,  certificates of public
officials and other  documents as I deemed  necessary to examine for purposes of
this opinion.

     I am of the opinion  that when (i) the  Registration  Statement  has become
effective  under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended;  (ii) the shares of
Common Stock have been duly and properly authorized for issuance;  and (iii) the
shares of Common Stock have been duly issued, sold and delivered as contemplated
in the Registration  Statement and any prospectus  supplement  relating thereto,
the shares of Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     I hereby  consent  to the  filing  of this  Opinion  as an  Exhibit  to the
Registration Statement.

                                                            Very truly yours,

                                                            /s/  Henry T. Meyer
                                                            Henry T. Meyer, Esq.
