Longitudinal three-dimensional visualisation of autoimmune diabetes by functional optical coherence imaging

Theo Lasser, Anne Grapin-Botton, Martin Villiger, Arno Pino Bouwens, Daniel Pawel Szlag, Corinne Berclaz, Jérôme Extermann, Joan Goulley

Aims/hypothesis It is generally accepted that structural and functional quantitative imaging of individual islets would be beneficial to elucidate the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. We here introduce functional optical coherence imaging (FOCI) for fast, ...

Label-free imaging of cerebral β-amyloidosis with extended-focus optical coherence microscopy

Theo Lasser, Christophe Pache, Patrick Fraering, Martin Villiger, Arno Pino Bouwens, Tristan Bolmont, Mitko Dimitrov, Corinne Berclaz

We demonstrate label-free imaging of cerebral β-amyloidosis ex vivo and in a living mouse model of Alzheimer's disease using extended focus Fourier domain optical coherence microscopy (xfOCM). xfOCM provides 3D, high-resolution images of individual β-amylo ...

Towards high resolution optical imaging of beta cells in vivo

Theo Lasser, Anne Grapin-Botton, Martin Villiger, Joan Goulley, Erica Martin-Williams

Endocrine beta cells produce and release insulin in order to tightly regulate glucose homeostasis and prevent metabolic pathologies such as Diabetes Mellitus. Optical imaging has contributed greatly to our current understanding of beta cell structure and f ...

Coherent transfer functions and extended depth of field

Theo Lasser, Christophe Pache, Rainer Leitgeb, Martin Villiger

To preserve the speed advantage of Fourier Domain detection in Optical Coherence Microscopy (OCM), extended depth of field is needed. With a narrow probing volume that extends over a long axial range, tissue could be measured in vivo and at cellular resolu ...

Measurement of the coherent transfer function

Theo Lasser, Christophe Pache, Martin Villiger

It is important to characterize and quantify the imaging performance of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and especially optical coherence microscopy (OCM) systems for validation and calibration of the setup. We suggest using a simple rubber surface, pres ...
