MICROSCOPE FOR MONITORING OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY

摘要

A microscope for monitoring optical coherence tomography includes a microscope image providing unit which is configured to include a first objective lens, a beam splitter, and an ocular lens which are sequentially disposed from the front of a sample mount and an optical coherent tomography (OCT) image providing unit which generates an OCT image and provides the OCT image to the beam splitter of the microscope image providing unit, wherein the OCT image providing unit generates the OCT image of the same position as the surface image of the sample and provides the OCT image to the beam splitter of the microscope image providing unit, and in the case where the OCT image is provided through the beam splitter to the OCT image providing unit, the microscope image providing unit simultaneously outputs the surface image and the OCT image of the sample to the ocular lens.

1. A microscope for monitoring optical coherence tomography, comprising:
a sample mount which a sample is mounted on; a microscope image providing unit which is configured to include a first objective lens and an ocular lens which are sequentially disposed from the front of the sample mount and provides a surface image of the sample by using first light generated by a first light source; and an OCT image providing unit which divides second light generated by a second light source into first and second light beams to apply the first and second light beams to a reference mirror and the sample, respectively, guides a path so as for the second light beam to be applied to the same position of the sample as the first light, generates an optical coherent tomography (OCT) image by using interference signals of a reference beam and a signal beam which are reflected from the reference mirror and the sample, respectively, and after that, provides the OCT image or an OCT image signal corresponding to the OCT image to the microscope image providing unit, wherein the OCT image providing unit generates the OCT image of the same position as the surface image of the sample and provides the OCT image to the microscope image providing unit, and wherein the microscope image providing unit simultaneously outputs the surface image and the OCT image of the sample.
