Abstract
An optical probe for detecting a biological tissue includes a surface imaging module and a tomography capturing module. The surface imaging module captures and creates a surface image of the biological tissue, and at least includes a light source emitting a first detecting light. The tomography capturing module captures a tomography image of the biological tissue and receives a second detecting light. The first detecting light passes via a first optical path from the light source to an imaging sensor through the biological tissue, a telecentric lens, a first optical mirror, and a lens assembly in sequence. The second detecting light passes via a second optical path from a first collimator to the first collimator through a scanner, the first optical mirror, the telecentric lens, the biological tissue, the telecentric lens, the first optical mirror, the scanner, and the first collimator in sequence.
