An optical time domain coherence tomograph including an object beam path, a detection beam path and a detector unit. An interferometer unit, which has a first and a second beam path part having different optical path lengths, splits radiation and feeds it into the two beam path parts and superimposes it again after passage through the beam path parts and thus generates a dual beam, which has components which are axially offset to one another because of the differing optical path lengths of the two beam path parts. A scanning unit has a first adjuster and a second adjuster for adjusting the optical path length of the first and second beam path parts and the first and the second adjustment means adjusting the path length for scanning the object in coordination to one another under control by the control unit.
