Abstract:
A dual channel dual focus spectral-domain optical coherence tomography was developed for imaging the accommodation of the eye in real time. The system can provide simultaneous cross-sectional imaging of all the surfaces of the anterior segment of the eye including the cornea, anterior chamber, anterior and posterior surfaces of the crystalline lens. Thus, the modification of the curvatures of the anterior and posterior surfaces of the crystalline lens and the dimensions of the anterior segment of the eye with accommodation can be calculated. The system was successfully tested in imaging accommodation. The preliminary results demonstrated the feasibility of this novel approach.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
