Zusammenfassung
High resolution imaging of human airways holds promise to visualize pathologic morphology and function with subcellular resolution. We have shown that endoscopic optical coherence microscopy (eOCM) is able to provide cross-sectional images with micrometer resolution. Our eOCT device is based on a supercontinuum light source, a custom made 400nm spectrometer, and a custom made 0.5 NA gradiant index (GRIN) endoscope. The endoscope is connected via a novel compact handpiece to lightsource and spectrometer. Working at micrometer resolution, the image performance is significantly influenced by spherical and chromatic…
