  • Laser-scanning intersecting plane tomography such as for high speed volumetric optical imaging
    Patent number: 8619237
    Abstract: Laser-Scanning Intersecting Plane Tomography (L-SIPT) can provide a non-contact imaging geometry that can allow high speed volumetric scanning, such as of non-scattering to moderately scattering tissues. The L-SIPT imaging apparatus can include a first lens, located and configured to receive from a sample light received from different depths of the sample. A first light redirector can be located and configured to receive via the first lens and to redirect light received from the different depths of the sample to provide redirected light to a light detector capable of detecting individual measurements of light at different locations along a first direction.
