1. A dual-modality apparatus for high resolution imaging of biological tissue, comprising:
a reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) imaging apparatus comprising a RCM source; an optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging apparatus comprising an OCT source; and a first optical component that
(1) reflects, using a first surface of the first optical component, a first beam of light provided by the RCM source toward a sample;(2) passes a second beam of light provided by the OCT source through a second surface of the first optical component toward a sample, such that the first beam of light and second beam of light share at least a portion of an imaging path;(3) reflects, using the first surface of the first optical component, a first light returning from the sample and directs the first light returning from the sample to the RCM unit for imaging; and(4) passes, through the first surface of the first optical component, a second light returning from the sample to the OCT unit for imaging. |
