What Types of Interferometry are Used in Histology?
Several types of interferometry can be utilized in histology, each with its own set of advantages:
1. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): This type of interferometry is particularly useful for imaging transparent tissues and is widely used in ophthalmology for retinal imaging. 2. Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM): DHM enables the acquisition of quantitative phase images, providing information about the optical path length and refractive index variations within the tissue. 3. Phase-Shift Interferometry (PSI): PSI is used to measure surface profiles with high precision, making it suitable for examining the topography of tissue samples.
