ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are scanning devices which measure and quantify optical properties within an object such as the absorption of light, refractive index, light scattering, fluorescence, and phosphorescence. Through the use of two rotating plane mirrors and two paraboloid mirrors, a laser light beam is made to traverse the object to be scanned wherein the beam is always parallel to the optical axis. The invention provides an improvement over previously reported scanning devices by virtue of increased speed and resolution. Two-dimensional projections gleaned by each scan of the object are reconstructed into a three-dimensional image through the use of various computer techniques.
