“…The second is full-field OCT in which imaging is done both in the reference and sample paths using lenses or microscope objectives [21][22][23][24][25]. Several modes were used such as heterodyne detection [26], wide-field configuration [27], phase-shift technique [28] and a stroboscopic mode [29]. Applications vary from imaging of the eye [30] to other scattering tissue [31][32][33].…”

Low‐coherence optical microscopy or optical coherence microscopy uses light with short coherence length. The well‐known case is: “white‐light interferometry”, which became recently more known as: “optical coherence tomography”. However, when lenses and microscope objectives are used to create interferometric images, in what is known classically as “interference microscopy” or today as “full‐field optical coherence tomography” the spatial coherence starts to play a critical role. In this article the coherence effects in low‐coherence optical microscopy are reviewed. As this technology is becoming increasingly publicized due to its importance in three‐dimensional imaging, particularly of scattering biological media and optical metrology, the understanding of the fundamental physics behind it is essential. The interplay between longitudinal spatial coherence and temporal coherence and the effects associated with them are discussed in detail particularly when high numerical apertures are used. An important conclusion of this study is that a high‐contrast, high‐resolution system for imaging of multilayered samples is the one that uses narrowband illumination and high‐NA objectives with an index‐matching fluid. Such a system, when combined with frequency‐domain operation, can reveal nearly real‐time three‐dimensional images, and is thus competitive with confocal microscopy.

“…In this paper we will try to stick to the term OCM (full field or scanning) because the "microscopic" aspect was the main focus: while OCT features high axial resolution, OCM focuses on achieving both high lateral and axial resolution. The reader should be aware that a number of papers dealing with OCM use either the OCT or the OCM nomenclature [8,9] [ 10,11]. For more specific information about this technique, we refer the reader to book that is entirely dedicated to various aspects of FF-OCT [7].…”

En face coherence microscopy or flying spot or full field optical coherence tomography or microscopy (FF-OCT/FF-OCM) belongs to the OCT family because the sectioning ability is mostly linked to the source coherence length. In this article we will focus our attention on the advantages and the drawbacks of the following approaches: en face versus B scan tomography in terms of resolution, coherent versus incoherent illumination and influence of aberrations, and scanning versus full field imaging. We then show some examples to illustrate the diverse applications of en face coherent microscopy and show that endogenous or exogenous contrasts can add valuable information to the standard morphological image. To conclude we discuss a few domains that appear promising for future development of en face coherence microscopy. tomography with a Linnik microscope," Appl. Opt. 41, 805-812 (2002). 6. L. Vabre, A.

“…Furthermore, a spatially incoherent source provides uniform illumination over the whole microscope objective aperture. The most popular light sources for early FF-OCTs were SLDs [54,86], but tungsten halogen lamps incorporated in a Kőhler illumination systems are currently the sources of choice [79]. Halogens provide high power, broadband light resulting in sub-nanometer depth resolution, but have low brightness per spatial mode.…”
