Optical Coherence Tomography
OCT uses the coherence properties of a light source to map biological tissues in three dimensions.
If the light source is sufficiently incoherent, details as small as a few cells can be resolved. It is also possible to scan up to a few millimetres in the depth of tissue under investigation without having to cut or even touch it.
​
Research includes:
​
-
Different aspects of OCT like dispersion, polarisation and enhanced contrast
-
Developing a multimodal imaging platform to study cartilage degeneration and the onset of osteoarthritis
-
Understanding hearing in crustaceans
-
Developing imaging tools to study and diagnose lymphedema
​
Previous projects have included:
​
-
OCT for art
-
New sources and sources with unprecedented coherence length allowing for deeper imaging
-
Assessing meat quality
