Abstract:
An optical coherence tomography system for imaging a sample is configured so as to illuminate a region of interest of the sample with incident light from an optical source. The optical coherence tomography system is further configured so as to interfere, on an optical detector, reference light from the optical source with offset returning light emerging from the sample along an offset collection path which is spatially offset from the region of interest of the sample, thereby creating interference on the optical detector.

Claim (Index 3):
The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the system is configured so that the offset returning light diverges as it emerges from the sample along the offset collection path so as to define a virtual image point in the sample on the offset collection path, the virtual image point being spatially offset from the region of interest.
