| optical aberration |
Aberration in optical systems (lenses, prisms, mirrors or series of them intended to produce a sharp image) generally leads to blurring of the image. It occurs when light from one point of an object after transmission through the system arrives in different points. Instrument-makers need to correct optical systems to compensate for aberration. The articles reflection, refraction and caustic discuss the general features of reflected and refracted rays. ...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an interferometric non-invasive imaging technique offering up to multiple millimeter penetration with multiple to sub micrometer axial and lateral resolution. The technique was first demonstrated in 1991 with ~30
