Yet up to now, all there is a great shortcoming in existing OCT system: image taking speed is too slow.In these OCT systems, each constantly can only obtain a picture element, wishes to get a complete image, needs pointwise to finish the scanning of both direction.Because OCT system imaging resolution is high, in order to obtain high-resolution image, its sweep velocity is difficult to improve.
It as number of patent application 99240337.5 invention, adopted one group of replaceable combinations of pairs of forming by exciter filter, double color reflection mirror, inhibition filter, advantage such as make not only that system has kept original light path simplification, compact conformation, volume is little and with low cost, the system that also makes has realized the 3-D view test to various fluorescence and non-fluorescent samples; Another number of patent application is 99113633.0 invention, discloses a kind of self-align fiber-optic confocal scanning microscope that has, and comprises fiber-optic confocal scanning microscope and accurate confocal small field of view microscope.That is to say that a microscope of this invention has two kinds of microscopical functions, the function of existing microscan tomography, the function of imaging once promptly is to carry out self-align function to measuring target again.But these systems speed when realizing the microscan tomography is slower, especially when human body being carried out at the body real time imagery, because arteriocapillary vibrations make that imaging is difficult to realize.
Therefore, image taking speed is slow, just becomes important disadvantages of confocal scan microscope.Particularly be used for biomedicine in bulk measurement the time, image taking speed has seriously limited the application of interfering tomography apparatus slowly.
