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 25):
The system according to  claim 23 , comprising:\n a variable optical element configured to vary an optical length of a reference path for the reference light; and a controller configured for communication with the optical detector and the variable optical element, wherein the controller is configured to: control the variable optical element so as to vary the optical length of the reference path across a range of optical lengths selected to match a range of depths in the sample; and use the optical detector to detect the interference as a function of the optical length of the reference path to provide an optical coherence tomography image of the sample as a function of depth through the sample.
