Detailed description of the invention
Preferred embodiment the invention will be further described to contrast accompanying drawing combination below.
The ophthalmology OCT system of the present embodiment, comprises light source 101, bonder 102, reference arm, sample arm, spectrogrph 201 and computer processing unit 202.
Wherein, reference arm is made up of reference arm focusing lens 103 and reflecting mirror 104; Sample arm is switched galvanometer 107, mirror unit, 2-D vibration mirror unit, diopter adjusting mirror 110 and is connect order object lens 111 by Polarization Controller 105, sample arm focusing lens 106, as the light path of optical path switch module and forms.
