High-resolution corneal topography and tomography of fish eye using wide-field white light interference microscopy
Topography and tomography of fish cornea is reconstructed using high resolution white light interference microscopy. White light interferograms at different depths were recorded by moving the object axially. For each depth position, five phase shifted interferograms were recorded and analyzed. From the reconstructed phase maps, the corneal topography and hence the refractive index was determined and from amplitude images the cross-sectional image of fish cornea was reconstructed. In the present method, we utilize a nearly common-path interference microscope and wide field illumination and hence do not require any mechanical B-scan. Therefore, the phase stability of the recorded data is improved.
