Abstract
An apparatus for obtaining image data and functional data from a biological sample, the apparatus including: an interferometer configured to acquire interferometric information at a plurality of time points along an imaging plane for which at least one axis of the plane is at least partially along a depth or axial dimension that is based on radiations provided from a reference interfered with by the biological sample; and a processor configured to receive the interferometric information from the interferometer and configured to: process the interferometric information to generate an image of the biological sample along the imaging plane; determine frequency information based on the plurality of time points of the interferometric information, the frequency information reflecting temporal modulations induced by dynamic functions of the biological sample; generate a spatial map of the frequency information, and the spatial map of the frequency information indicating the dynamic functions of the biological sample.
