Adaptive optics optical coherence tomography (AO-OCT) has allowed for the reliable 3-D imaging of individual retinal cells. The current AO-OCT systems are limited to tabletop implementation due to their size and complexity. This work describes the design and implementation of the first dual modality handheld AO-OCT (HAOOCT) and scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) probe to extend AO-OCT imaging to previously excluded patients. Simultaneous SLO imaging allows for tracking of imaging features for HAOOCT localization. Pilot experiments on stabilized and recumbent adults using HAOOCT, weighing only 665 grams, revealed the 3-D photoreceptor structure for the first time using a handheld AO-OCT/SLO device.
Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an efficient process in additive manufacturing that enables rapid part production from computer-based designs. However, SLS is limited by its notable lack of in situ process monitoring when compared with other manufacturing processes. We report the incorporation of optical coherence tomography (OCT) into an SLS system in detail and demonstrate access to surface and subsurface features. Video frame rate cross-sectional imaging reveals areas of sintering uniformity and areas of excessive heat error with high temporal resolution. We propose a set of image processing techniques for SLS process monitoring with OCT and report the limitations and obstacles for further OCT integration with SLS systems.
