OQ LabScope OCT Industrial Applications
OCT: Important technology, vital research tool
OCT has become an established biomedical imaging technology along with MRI, CT, Ultrasound, and Microscopy.
It’s important to provide students with experience in this vital technology and its properties.
Students across a spectrum of science and engineering fields can benefit from learning about OCT.
Concepts to be learned include:
Fundamental physics – using optical interferometry to observe wave effects
Physiology – OCT can examine a wide range of biological tissues
Image and signal processing – converting interferometry data to OCT images illustrates several common signal
processing methods
Material science – OCT can be used to monitor material integrity in response to dynamic loading
Lumedica’s OQ Labscope brings medical grade OCT imaging to a price point and form factor compatible with the
undergraduate and graduate laboratory environment and budget.
OCT serves a wide array of industrial applications
Quality Control
Authentication
OCT can be used in spoof-proof fingerprint scanners to validate or authorize device access.
Counterfeit Detection
OCT has been an effective tool for authenticating original works of art and detecting counterfeit currency.
Measurement
Welding
OCT has been used to inspect seams in welding systems to ensure proper bonding.
Robotics
OCT is being explored as a means to provide provide 3 dimensional depth imaging to robotic systems.
