optical coherence microscopy

Optical coherence microscopy (OCM) is a high-resolution imaging technique that combines elements of optical coherence tomography and microscopy. It uses focused light to capture detailed, three-dimensional images of biological tissues at a cellular level. By measuring how light reflectance varies within the tissue, OCM creates precise images that reveal structures and organization beneath the surface. This non-invasive method is valuable for medical diagnostics, allowing clinicians to examine tissues, such as skin or the eye, in real-time and in great detail without needing biopsies.
