Abstract
An optical tomography apparatus comprises: a polychromatic light source, a one-dimensional optical sensor, an interferometric microscope, a one-dimensional confocal spatial filtering system, an actuation system making it possible to perform a one-way scan depthwise of an object to be observed and a processor for reconstructing a two-dimensional image of a section of the object from a plurality of one-dimensional interferential images acquired by the image sensor during the one-way scan. An optical tomography method based on use of such an apparatus is also provided.
