The UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has taken delivery of a state-of-the-art Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scanner from Kent-based Michelson Diagnostics. The
OCT scanner will be used in NPL’s leading-edge research into quantifying results from this new type of medical imaging technology. NPL chose the EX1301 OCT scanner in a competitive tender, after evaluating performance of several
competing products. The EX1301 provides double the image resolution, by virtue of its novel optical design - a key factor affecting the decision. Optical Coherence Tomography is a new type of medical imaging technology that can provide sub-surface images of biological tissue at a far higher resolution than is possible with ultrasound.
