Abstract
Optical coherence tomography produces high-resolution cross-sectional images of tissue microstructure using backscattered light that allows non-invasive or non-contact applications. These include novel phase sensitive applications that utilize sub-wavelength changes in optical path length. The techniques are promising to image neural structure and functional changes during action potential propagation.
