    摘要: A method for use in imaging an object through a scattering medium comprises illuminating the object sequentially point-by-point through the scattering medium with incident electromagnetic radiation propagating along an illumination direction so that the incident electromagnetic radiation interacts with the object to cause the object to generate and emit electromagnetic radiation, wherein the incident electromagnetic radiation is formed by spectrally dispersing initial electromagnetic radiation in a direction transverse to the illumination direction so as to form spectrally dispersed electromagnetic radiation and by spatially focusing the spectrally dispersed electromagnetic radiation through the scattering medium to the object. The method comprises measuring, for each illuminated point of the object, a corresponding value representative of a quantity of at least a portion of the corresponding emitted electromagnetic radiation and using, for each illuminated point of the object, position information for the illuminated point and the corresponding measured value to determine an image of the object.

    摘要: A method for use in light-sheet imaging of an object through a scattering medium comprises illuminating the object through the scattering medium with incident electromagnetic radiation propagating along an illumination axis so that the incident electromagnetic radiation interacts with the object to cause the object to generate and emit electromagnetic radiation. The incident electromagnetic radiation is formed by spectrally dispersing initial electromagnetic radiation in a direction transverse to the illumination axis so as to form spectrally dispersed electromagnetic radiation and by spatially focusing the spectrally dispersed electromagnetic radiation through the scattering medium to the object. The method comprises forming an image of at least a portion of the emitted electromagnetic radiation propagating along a detection axis, wherein the detection axis and the illumination axis are non-collinear, and sensing the formed image. The object and/or the scattering medium may comprise biological material, for example human or animal tissue. The method may be used for light-sheet imaging in vivo or in vitro. A system for use in light-sheet imaging of an object through a scattering medium is configured to perform the method.

    摘要: An optical coherence tomography system for imaging a sample is configured so as to illuminate a region of interest of the sample with incident light from an optical source. The optical coherence tomography system is further configured so as to interfere, on an optical detector, reference light from the optical source with offset returning light emerging from the sample along an offset collection path which is spatially offset from the region of interest of the sample, thereby creating interference on the optical detector.
