Full-field optical coherence tomography (OCT) offers ultrahigh resolution, 1-micrometer imaging using white-light microscopy. This technique provides transverse tomographic images, enabling non-invasive histology without sample preparation.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical optics
  • Microscopy
  • Medical imaging

Context:

  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a key technology in ophthalmology.
  • Conventional OCT provides B-mode images.
  • Full-field OCT (FFOCT) is an original approach using white-light interference microscopy.

Purpose:

  • To present FFOCT as an alternative to conventional OCT.
  • To achieve ultrahigh resolution (approx. 1 micrometer) imaging.
  • To enable non-invasive, three-dimensional histological studies of ex vivo specimens.

Summary:

  • FFOCT acquires en face tomographic images using a CCD camera and a simple halogen lamp.
  • It offers an alternative to laser-based OCT, providing detailed micro-scale imaging.
  • Demonstrated performance for ex vivo specimen imaging without sample preparation.

Impact:

  • FFOCT enables non-invasive histological analysis.
  • Current research focuses on overcoming limitations for in vivo imaging, such as motion artifacts.
  • Future directions include improving detection sensitivity, penetration depth in scattering tissues, and utilizing birefringence for enhanced tissue characterization.
