OQ LabScope
Accelerate Innovation with Affordable, OCT, Optical Coherence Tomography
It’s OCT. Re-imagined.
Optical Coherence Tomography, better known as OCT, uses light to provide cross-sectional images of micro-layers of tissues and other samples.
While OCT has many applications, from scientific to medical to manufacturing, the technology has not been affordable — until now.
It’s affordable.
The OQ LabScope costs a fraction of what every other OCT system on the market costs. With such prices many laboratories could afford to place OCT systems at multiple research facilities. A fully configured workstation with a monitor, keyboard and mouse can be supported.
It’s accurate.
The OQ Labscope generates 512 x 512 pixel images, with axial resolution of 7 μm in air (5 μm in tissue), an imaging depth of 2.8 mm (2 mm in tissue), and a lateral depth resolution of 15 μm — matching the performance of OCT units costing three times as much. It’s compact. No other OCT has the footprint of the OQ LabScope. Roughly the size of a shoe box, including the integrated computer, our OCT system will not crowd your bench, or require you to buy special cart in order to use it. Even better, it can be easily stored when not in use.
It’s easy to use.
We want you to focus on science, not on setup. We kept the software simple, so you’ll be able to generate images quickly.
It’s customizable.
We’re scientists too. So, if you need the LabScope configured for a specific application, we’re happy to make adjustments.

Notice the Cuticle at the left. You’ll also notice the nails polarzsation as you move througth its layers,
Ibuprofren
Drug manufacturing is a precise process that is heavily monitored for qulity control. Using OCT is a great tool for monitoring an measuring the depth for pill coating.
Onion Skin
Onion Scientist need the ability to see the layers of a range of living tissues. Here we get a glimpse into an onion
Roll of Tape
Look at the depth and clarity. You are looking at 40+ layers of tape and adhesive.
