High Speed Imaging of Biological Tissues by Use of Coherence or Temporal Optical Gating

Abstract

Recent developments of high speed imaging of biological tissues using optical radiation is reviewed in this paper. Especially, coherence optical gating (optical coherence tomography) and temporal optical gating (using femtosecond laser source) are able to provide video rate imaging of thick highly scattering biological samples with a micrometer transversal and depth resolution.
