Our researchers developed a method for surface and sub-surface imaging of tissues. This imaging method is applicable to the diagnosis of diseases, especially in the critical areas of optical coherence tomography (OCT), such as ophthalmic and dermatological imaging.
This invention helps provide what is needed in the art: a full color 3D microscopic imaging systems and methods utilizing wide-field optical coherence tomography resulting in a machine capable of lateral and longitudinal resolution, subsurface penetration of diffuse media and full natural color representation.
- Full natural color representation of object
- Non-ionizing radiation
- No need for pixel-by-pixel scanning of 3D object volume
- Use of low cost light sources such as LED or tungsten lamp
