What is VisOCT?
Visible-light optical coherence tomography (VisOCT) is the latest development of OCT, providing new capabilities in anatomical and functional imaging of biological tissue.
Unlike most commercial and investigational OCTs that use near-infrared light, visOCT relies on visible light illumination. This requires different engineering design considerations but brings unique benefits to both fundamental research and clinical care of leading blinding diseases.
Evolution of VisOCT
VisOCT was first reported by Professor Hao F. Zhang's group at Northwestern University in 2013 in small animals and has been extended for human use since 2015. Recent iterations have shown strong use-cases in metrology as depth and lateral imaging are possible simultaneously and without damage to the sample.

VisOCT Explorer
VisOCT Explorer is a free software aiming to facilitate ophthalmic research with high-performance OCT image processing capabilities.
It is used for data from visible-light OCT systems with an easy-to-use graphical user interface.
Developed and maintained by the Functional Optical Imaging Lab (FOIL) at Northwestern University.
