Full-Field Optical Coherence Microscopy for Histology-Like Analysis of Stromal Features in Corneal Grafts
Published on: October 21, 2022
Abstract:
Moiré contour fringes were generated on the human corneal surface, following the instillation of a fluorescein solution onto the eye. The depth interval between the two adjacent moiré fringes was made to be 0.148 mm at all fringe orders by using a telecentric optical system. The meridional sections of normal and abnormal corneas were quantitatively profiled with an accuracy of about 0.005 mm. It was concluded that this corneal topography was advantageous, especially in determining the configuration of abnormal corneas, such as conical corneas and those that occur just after cataract extraction or corneal transplantation.

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...
