Methods Mol Biol. 2017:1563:167-182. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-6810-7_12.

Abstract

The present chapter aims at demonstrating the capabilities of optical coherence microscopy (OCM) for applications in biomedical imaging. We furthermore review the functional imaging capabilities of OCM focusing on lable-free optical angiography. We conclude with a section on digital wavefront control and a short outlook on future developments, in particular for contrast enhancement techniques.

Keywords: Beam engineering; Bessel beam; Digital aberration correction; Digital wavefront sensing; Functional imaging; OCT angiography; Optical coherence microscopy; Optical coherence tomography.
