Optical coherence imaging systems having a mechanism for shifting focus and scanning modality

摘要

Some embodiments of the present invention provide adapters for use in posterior imaging systems. The adapters include lens set configured to adapt the posterior imaging system to operate as an anterior imaging system. Related optical coherence tomography systems and anterior imaging systems are also provided herein.

1. A scanning optical imaging system configured to focus scanned rays of light onto a region of a subject to be imaged, the optical imaging system being adaptable for either of at least two scanning modes, the system comprising:
first lens optics for use in a first mode, the first lens optics being adapted to focus the scanned rays onto a first region of the subject, without having converged the scanned rays to a pivot between the first lens optics and the first region; and second lens optics for use in a second mode, the second lens optics being adapted to converge the scanned rays to a pivot and to focus the scanned rays onto a second region of the subject to be imaged, the pivot being between the second lens optics and the second region along an optical path of the system.
