Researchers at Medical University of Vienna publish new data on biomedical optics

"The capability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to perform ''optical biopsy'' of tissues within a depth range of 1 to 2 mm with micron-scale resolution in real time makes it a promising biomedical imaging modality for dermatologic applications. Three highspeed, spectrometer-based frequency-domain OCT systems operating at 800 nm (20,000 A-scans/s), 1060 nm, and 1300 nm (both 47,000 A-scans/s) at comparable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), SNR roll-off with scanning depth, and transverse resolution (<15 mu m) were used to acquire 3-D tomograms of glabrous and hairy human skin in vivo," scientists in Vienna, Austria report.

"Images obtained using these three systems...
