Handbook of Full-Field Optical Coherence Microscopy: Technology and Applications

that provides cross-sectional views of the subsurface microstructure of semitransparent objects. The technology is based on low-coherence interference microscopy, using an area camera for en face imaging of the full-field illuminated object. FF-OCM benefits from the transverse imaging resolution of optical microscopy along with the capacity of optical axial sectioning at micrometerscale resolution. The technique can be employed in diverse applications, in particular for noninvasive examination of biological tissues.
