Example OCT images
 |
Below are a selection of in-vivo and ex-vivo images taken with our EX1301
OCT Microscope.
OCT allows the user to take a cross-sectional image of tissue
without having to break the tissue surface or damage the tissue in any way. The
images below were mostly taken ex-vivo (i.e. on samples of tissue already
removed from the patient during the normal clinical process). The in-vivo images
were taken using the MDL engineers as guinea pigs. The imaging
process has no effect on the tissue whatsoever.

The images below are from one of our development systems and are
presented raw, with no image processing of any sort. Some have been colourised
to help the eye pick up detail. They were captured in 0.1
s. Spatial resolution is <10 microns, pixel size is 6 microns.
3D Images
The EX1301 now has a 3D acquisition capability. Please see
here for example images taken with the system by
our collaborators at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital.
