Abstract
An optical coherence tomography system for imaging a sample is configured so as to illuminate a region of interest of the sample with incident light from an optical source. The optical coherence tomography system is further configured so as to interfere, on an optical detector, reference light from the optical source with offset returning light emerging from the sample along an offset collection path which is spatially offset from the region of interest of the sample, thereby creating interference on the optical detector.
