Patent number: 10682052Abstract: The invention relates to an interferometric method, in which the light scattered by an object is imaged onto an electronic camera, wherein a sample light component is assigned to scattering sites on a sectional face in the interior of the object. This sample light component can be separated from the contributions of the other sample light components by processing of the camera image and leads to a sectional image. A particular advantage of the invention lies in the fact that multiple parallel sectional faces can be exposed sequentially at predetermined intervals from each other in the interior of the object. Such a sequence of sectional images can be used to calculate a solid model of the object.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2016Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignees: Medizinisches Laserzentrum Luebeck GmbH, Thorlabs GmbHInventors: Peter Koch, Gesa Franke, Hendrik Spahr, Helge Sudkamp, Gereon Hüttmann, Dierck Hillmann, Reginald Birngruber
