Dynamic Observation of Sweat Glands of Human Finger Tip Using All-Optical-Fiber High-Speed Optical Coherence Tomography

High-speed optical coherence tomography (OCT) makes it possible to perform a time-sequential imaging of biological tissue and small organs. In this paper, we demonstrate in vivo observation of dynamics of sweat glands of human finger tip using high-speed OCT with push–pull driven fiber-optic PZT phase modulators. Movement of a sweat droplet through a micro spiral duct can be tracked clearly. An interesting function of sweat glands is found out in time-sequential OCT imaging.
