Abstract
We develop a multimodal imaging platform, combining depth-resolved scattering contrast from spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) with complementary, non-contact absorption contrast using photoacoustic remote sensing (PARS) microscopy. The system provides a widefield OCT mode using a telecentric scan lens, and a high-resolution, dual-contrast mode using a 0.26 numerical aperture apochromatic objective. An interlaced acquisition approach is used to achieve simultaneous, co-registered imaging. The SD-OCT modality provides a 9.7 µm axial resolution. Comprehensive in vivo imaging of a nude mouse ear is demonstrated, with the SD-OCT scattering intensity revealing dermal morphology, and PARS microscopy providing a map of microvasculature.
