Optical coherence tomography

found: MESH browser, Feb. 28, 2006(Tomography, Optical Coherence; entry terms: OCT Tomography, Optical Coherence Tomography; scope note: An imaging method using lasers that is used for mapping subsurface structure. When a reflective site in the sample is at the same optical path length (coherence) as the reference mirror, the detector observes interference fringes.)
