Abstract
The optical design of a second generation Powell Lens-based Line-Field OCT system is presented. The new design offers improved FOV, DOF and sensitivity to allow for contactless, volumetric in-vivo imaging of the human cornea. Images acquired from healthy subjects reveal the cellular structure of the corneal epithelial and endothelial layers, sub-basal and stromal nerves. The high axial resolution allows for both visualization and morphometry of the thin corneal nerves such as the endothelium, Descemet’s membrane and pre-Descemet’s (Dua) layer. Visualization of endothelial nuclei allows for fast and easy counting of endothelial cells.
