Abstract
To collect the volumetric image of the spinal cord using optical coherence tomography, the traditional way is to successively repeat the process of cutting the sample and imaging the revealed part. This common method is quite lengthy and laborious. Here, we designed circular scanning optical coherence tomography that has a customized ring-shaped silver-coated mirror reflecting incoming light in a circular pattern around the spinal cord. The sample is carried through that mirror by the linear stage during image acquisition. The results suggest that our system is suitable for the study of the spinal cord as well as applicable to other bigger samples when adapting clearing methods.
