Abstract

A system that includes an interference device including a reference arm on which a reflective surface is arranged, where the interference device produces, at each point of an imaging field when the sample is placed on a target arm of the interference device, interference between a reference wave and a target wave obtained by backscattering of incident light waves by means of a voxel of a slice of the sample at a given depth; an acquisition device suitable for acquiring, at a fixed path length difference between the target arm and the reference arm, a temporal series of N two-dimensional interferometric signals resulting from the interference produced at each point of the imaging field; and a processing unit that calculates an image representing temporal variations in intensity between said N two-dimensional interferometric signals.
