The image showing cornea on the top, followed by iris and crystalline lens was acquired using an ultra-deep penetration model of the Cobra 1300 OCT spectrometer.
The angle formed between the cornea and the iris, taken using a Cobra 1300 OCT spectrometer. The structure is considered important in diagnosing eye conditions like glaucoma.
taken using a a high resolution Cobra 800 OCT spectrometer model. Mice are the most commonly studied animals in medical and scientific research, as they have a retinal structure similar to humans and can easily be genetically modified. Mice subjects are often used to study macular degeneration and other diseases, both as regards mechanism and response to pharmaceutical-based or laser treatment.
The image was acquired using 800 nm OCT imaging.
Clearly showing different retinal layers. The image was acquired using an 800 nm system based on a Cobra 800 OCT spectrometer at standard resolution using a custom designed animal eye imaging probe.
Starting from nerve fiber layer down to choroidal blood vessels. The image was acquired using an 800 nm system based on a Cobra 800 OCT spectrometer at standard resolution using a custom designed animal eye imaging probe.

The high resolution of images captured with the Cobra 800 OCT spectrometer are ideal for study of retinal layers in veterinary specimens such as cats.
Taken with a Cobra 1300 OCT spectrometer. In this case, a tumor was implanted in the mouse ear to demonstrate the ability of OCT angiography to distinguish tumor margins. This technique is of particular interest in cancer and carcinoma treatment. It can also be applied in endocrinological diseases like diabetes, in which there is a need to study perfusion in the body.

This high-resolution image of a contact lens edge taken with a Cobra 800 OCT spectrometer shows the potential of OCT for material inspection contact lens edges are a feature of interest because comfort of a contact lens depends on how the lens contacts the cornea. No adequate non-destructive method exists for evaluation except OCT.
The medical industry has been quick to adopt OCT for the analysis of high precision medical devices due to its ability to generate non-contact images of very small, thin, and delicate structures such as this contact lens. OCT can also provides information about pores, defects, and gaps in the production of critical membranes and seals.
The excellent axial resolution of OCT is ideal for imaging the multilayered structures used in display panels the 3D information acquired can be used to evaluate flatness uniformity and identify subsurface defects affecting display quality. Sublayers < 10 µm in thickness can be clearly imaged, as shown here.
OCT can be used to evaluate application of critical coatings and paints in industries like aviation and automotive high resolution layer imaging enables analysis of thickness uniformity and defects that can impact quality and safety, as shown in this detailed image of a multilayer paint coating.
OCT is an excellent tool for evaluation of shapes and dimensions of tools, molds, and final parts as shown here for polymer-based 3D printing. It can also provide real-time process feedback for control of ablation depth during laser machining, and for defect detection and dimensional analysis in additive manufacturing.
OCT can even be used to capture an image of a whole mouse eye to show different structures and total length for myopia studies, as shown here using the Cobra 1300 OCT spectrometer. This specialized application offers medical research a non-destructive method of wide field imaging.
Even plant tissues can be imaged non-destructively with OCT, as shown in this cross-section of an onion skin showing cells at different depths. The image was acquired using a high-resolution Cobra 800 OCT spectrometer.
High-resolution OCT images of commercial goods can be used for quality control, as shown in this image penetrating multiple layers of standard adhesive tape. The image was acquired using a high-resolution Cobra 800 OCT spectrometer.
A wide field image of US quarter. The image shows unique capability to acquire multiple OCT sections in a single shot. The image was acquired using 840 nm OCT imaging.
