This study introduces a novel imaging system combining optical coherence tomography (OCT) and confocal microscopy. This dual-modality approach enables sequential en-face imaging with distinct depth resolutions for precise biological sample visualization.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical optics
  • Microscopy
  • Optical imaging technologies

Background:

  • Accurate 3D imaging requires high resolution and precise targeting.
  • Existing imaging modalities often present trade-offs between depth resolution and field of view.
  • Sequential acquisition of multi-resolution images can enhance visualization and analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and demonstrate a novel imaging system capable of acquiring sequential en-face images with different depth resolutions.
  • To integrate optical coherence tomography (OCT) and confocal microscopy into a single system.
  • To facilitate precise target positioning and detailed imaging of biological samples.

Main Methods:

  • Sequential acquisition of en-face images using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and confocal microscopy.

  • Utilizing different optical principles for distinct depth resolutions (OCT <20 microm, confocal microscopy >0.12 mm).
  • Employing an opaque screen in the reference arm for image switching and self-adjusting gain control.

    • Main Results:

    • The system successfully acquired sequential en-face images with complementary depth resolutions.
    • Demonstrated effective target positioning using the lower-depth-resolution confocal image prior to OCT imaging.
    • Successfully imaged biological specimens, including a leaf and an in vivo optic nerve.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed dual-modality imaging system offers a versatile platform for biological sample investigation.
    • The ability to switch between high and low depth resolutions enhances imaging workflow and precision.
    • This integrated approach holds promise for advanced in vivo imaging applications in biology and medicine.
