Abstract
Microscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides three-dimensional, high-resolution imaging but lacks (sub-) cellular contrast. Dynamic-microscopic OCT (dmOCT) is an approach exploiting dynamic changes of the scattering behavior in metabolically active cells. However, the underlying cellular processes responsible for those intensity fluctuations and hence the dynamic signals are not finally identified yet. Here, we present the effects of different temperatures and metabolic reagents on dmOCT images of an in-vitro human skin model. Our data indicates a dependency of the dmOCT signals on metabolic activity rather than Brownian motion and suggests dependency on the metabolic state.
