Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2009124569A1] The invention relates to an optical coherence tomography system comprising an interferometer, in particular a Michelson-interferometer, provided with a reference arm (R) for modifying an optical reference wave length and a measuring arm (M), in which an object (sample P) that is to be scanned can be arranged and/or is arranged in a sample volume (PV). Said optical coherence tomography device is characterised in that a focusing system (F) designed for focusing divergent incident light beams on a common point (target point Z) in the sample volume is arranged in the measuring arm between the beam splitter of the interferometer and the sample volume.
