Stationary optical spectroscopic imaging in turbid objects by special light focusing and signal detection of light with various optical wavelengths

摘要

Interferometer apparatus includes a light source, disposed in a light source arm, for emitting light at various wavelengths and a focusing device disposed in an object arm for focusing the emitted light simultaneously into at least two different regions within an object, the focused light being reflected from the object. A reference is provided, including a reflective element, for reflecting light from the light source means and a detector, disposed in a detector arm is provided for measuring different wavelengths of the light reflected from the reference means and the object, in order to obtain a spectroscopic image of the object, displaying both spacial resolution in a lateral direction and a field of view in a depth direction.
