Abstract

We report a new method for improved optical sectioning in confocal microscopy. Optical coherence microscopy (OCM) uses low-coherence interferometry to improve image contrast in highly scattering media. OCM is an adaptation of optical coherence tomography (OCT), a new method for non-invasive cross-sectional imaging of tissue microstructure.1 The extension of this technique to confocal microscopy offers the potential for micron-resolution imaging without the need for biopsy in highly scattering media such as skin and endoscopically accessible tissues.
