ABSTRACT
We propose a new method and optical instrumentation for mouse brain imaging based on extended-focus optical coherence microscopy. This in vivo imaging technique allows the evaluation of the cytoarchitecture at cellular level and the circulation system dynamics in three dimensions. This minimally invasive and non-contact approach is performed without the application of contrasting agents. The optical design achieved a resolution of 2.2 µm over a distance of 800 µm, which was sufficient to obtain a detailed three-dimensional image of a wild-type mouse's brain down to the layer III of the cortex. Intrinsically contrasted microvessels and structures similar to the bodies of neurons were distinguishable.
