Abstract
The zebrafish is an essential animal model in pre-clinical research, especially in the field of cancer investigations. A polarization sensitive Jones matrix OCT (JM-OCT) prototype operating at 1310 nm was utilized to investigate adult control and tumor zebrafish models. Various anatomical features were characterized based on their inherent scattering and polarization properties. A motorized translation stage in combination with the prototype enabled large field-of-view imaging to investigate whole adult zebrafish non-destructively. The reflectivity, the attenuation coefficient and local polarization parameters such as the birefringence and the degree of polarization uniformity were analyzed to quantify differences in tumor versus control regions.
