3-dimentional OCT imaging of the human finger

Adjacent 2D subsurface OCT images can be combined into a high-resolution 3D image set, as demonstrated here. We present a 3D composite image of the human finger, illustrating OCT’s ability to resolve the stratum corneum, epidermis, and superficial dermis in-vivo. The tubular light-coloured structures in the superficial layer are sweat ducts, known from histology to possess spiral geometry, as confirmed in this OCT reconstruction.
