International Classification:

A61B 3/10
A61B 3/107
A61B 5/00

US Classification:

348 78, 348 77

Abstract:

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging systems for imaging an eye are provided including a source having an associated source arm path and a reference arm having an associated reference arm path coupled to the source path, the reference arm path having an associated reference arm path length. A sample having an associated sample arm path coupled to the source arm and reference arm paths is provided. A reference arm path length adjustment module is coupled to the reference arm. The reference arm path length adjustment module is configured to automatically adjust the reference arm path length such that the reference arm path length is based on an eye length of the subject. Related methods and computer program products are also provided.

Appl. No.:

14/805633

Inventors:

- Morrisville NC, US
Eric L. Buckland - Hickory NC, US
Robert H. Hart - Cary NC, US

International Classification:

A61B 3/13
A61B 3/10

Abstract:

An accessory frame for selectively coupling components to an optical microscope for imaging of a subject is provided. The optical microscope has a body including an undercarriage. The accessory frame includes a mounting plate that attaches to the undercarriage of the microscope. The mounting plate includes a first attachment port and a second attachment port. The first attachment port is configured to couple a first optical assembly in an optical path of the microscope between an objective lens of the microscope and the subject. The second attachment port is configured to couple a second optical assembly to the microscope body with at least a portion of the optical path of the second optical assembly being outside of the optical path of the microscope.
