Claim Text:
1. An imaging apparatus, comprising: an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system; one or more ocular systems; a coupler coupled to the OCT system and the one or more ocular systems; and an optical system coupled to the coupler, the optical system coupling a combination beam from the coupler to a sample, and light reflected from the sample to the coupler, wherein the coupler is configured for providing the combination beam from the OCT system and the one or more ocular systems to the optical system, and the reflected light from the optical system to the OCT system and the one or more ocular systems, and wherein the OCT system is configured to use an interference signal of the OCT system to determine a current working distance (Z distance) between the optical system and the sample and provide positioning information to a positioner coupled to the optical system for positioning the optical system such that the current working distance determined by the OCT system matches a desired working distance of the one or more ocular systems.
