The OCT optical tomograph is designed for examining the fundus of the human eye, i.e. the retina, the optic disc and the uveal membrane. The device operates in the OCT technique in the Fourier field with the use of tuned lasers (swept-source OCT). It is possible to obtain the following three-dimensional images of the tissue structure of the fundus:

visualizing the anatomical layers of the retina (OCT structural imaging)
showing the architecture of the retinal vascular systems
the optic disc and the uveal membrane
to the level of the capillaries (OCT angiographic imaging)
allowing the measurement of the axial velocity of blood flow (OCT Doppler imaging)

The device is adapted for transport and use in an ophthalmic clinic or laboratory adapted to research with volunteers or patients. Measurements, data processing and image analysis are performed by personnel experienced in OCT imaging.

Elements included in the station:

source of light
measuring head
ophthalmic support for head positioning
data acquisition system
software for data processing and OCT image analysis

Pricing (netto):

estimated price for using the station with an operator: PLN 500-1500 / hour
