In-vivo retinal imaging system

Abstract

An optical imaging system ( 1 ) for in-vivo retinal imaging, the system ( 1 ) comprising: an optical source ( 3 ) for generating incoherent light in a plurality of wavelength bands; an optical imaging sub-system ( 6 ) configured to split light from said optical source ( 3 ) into a plurality of beams, to introduce a path difference between said beams of light, and recombine those beams to form interference fringes that are imaged on a subject ( 21 ); and an image capture device ( 29 ) configured to capture light from the subject ( 21 ) being imaged, and to form an image of said subject ( 21 ).
