Abstract: Swept source optical coherence microscopy (OCM) enables
cellular resolution en face imaging as well as integration with optical
coherence tomography (OCT) cross sectional imaging. A buffered Fourier
domain mode-locked (FDML) laser light source provides high speed, three
dimensional imaging. Image resolutions of 1.6 μm × 8 μm (transverse ×
axial) with a 220 μm × 220 μm field of view and sensitivity higher than 98
dB are achieved. Three dimensional cellular imaging is demonstrated in
vivo in the Xenopus laevis tadpole and ex vivo in the rat kidney and human
colon.
