Combined confocal scanning ophthalmoscopy/en face T-scan-based ultrahigh-resolution
optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the human retina in vivo is reported for the first time
to our knowledge. The system uses a superluminescent diode-based broadband source,
which gives an axial resolution of 3.2 μm in the retina. We demonstrate acquisition of T-scan-
based OCT B-scan and simultaneous confocal/C-scan images of the human retina of large
lateral size (covering a field of up to 20°) at a frame rate of 2Hz.
