title: Virtual skin biopsy with Gabor Domain optical coherence microscopy.
abstract: We report in-vivo volumetric optical coherence microscopy images of the skin, with resolution at the cellular level. With resolution of 2 μm both laterally and axially, structures below the skin as deep as 1 mm may be imaged at various anatomic locations. Custom optical instrumentation was designed, built, and integrated to achieve this unprecedented optical imaging resolution, in three dimensions, at clinically feasible configuration and speed.
