IMAGING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR IN VIVO FULL-FIELD INTERFERENCE IMAGING OF A SAMPLE

Abstract: an imaging apparatus for in vivo full-field interference imaging of a sample. the imaging apparatus has a full-field oct imaging system, which includes: a primary light source, having low spatial coherence and a low temporal coherence length, configured to output a probe beam; a primary interferometer having a sample arm, a reference arm including a reference reflection surface, and a primary beam splitter; a camera configured to acquire the at least one interference image provided by the primary interferometer and representative of a sample arranged in the sample arm; and a sample beam splitter arranged in the sample arm; and a sample locating system arranged outside the sample arm and having a sensing axis intersecting the sample beam splitter, the sample locating system being configured to output a location signal representative of a location of the sample along the sensing axis.
