Imaging in vivo
Optical Coherence Tomography is analogous to ultrasound, but employs the time-of-flight of backscattered photons rather than sound. We have developed a working freespace Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) prototype, and recently developed a conical fibre tip based system. With our objective based system, we have we have achieved an axial resolution of 14 µm, a lateral resolution of 5 µm, and a penetration depth of 200 µm to 3 mm.
