STUDY OF SURFACE LAYERS MICROSTRUCTURE FOR PLANT TISSUE BY OPTICAL COHERENCE MICROSCOPY

Abstract

The surface layers microstructure of biological tissue on the example of plant fruit exocarp was investigated by spectral optical coherence microscopy with tunable wavelength in the 1305  75 nm range and by the method of correlated optical coherence microscopy at the mean wavelength value equal to 940 nm. The experiments were performed for the intact and defect structures, and calculation of the surface profile of exocarp was performed.
