Abstract:
In the paper, we have developed an optical coherence hyperspectral microscopy with a single supercontinuum light source. The microscopy consists of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and hyperspectral imaging (HSI), which can visualize the structural and functional characteristics of biological tissues. The 500 to 700 nm band is selected for HSI and OCT imaging, where HSI enables imaging of oxygen saturation and hemoglobin (Hb) content, while OCT acquires structural characteristics to assess the morphology of biological tissues. The system performance of the optical coherence hyperspectral microscopy is verified by normal mice ears, and the practical applications of the microscopy is further performed in 4T1 and inflammation Balb/c mice ears in vivo. The experimental results demonstrate that the microscopy has potential to provide complementary information for clinical applications.

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...
