Thorlabs Telesto TEL210PSC2 and TEL220PSC2 OCT imaging systems

Thorlabs has expanded its Telesto OCT line to include two complete imaging systems that offer polarisation‐sensitive detection: the TEL210PSC2 and TEL220PSC2. The polarisation‐sensitive spectral‐domain OCT systems enable reproducible and robust 2D and 3D imaging and analysis of polarising samples.

The systems are available in both long‐range (TEL210PS) and general‐purpose (TEL220PS — 5.5 μm axial resolution) variants. In addition, the user can switch between different A‐scan rate presets (ranging from 5–76 kHz) to achieve an optimal balance between sensitivity and imaging speed. The polarisation‐sensitive detection and evaluation package allows for the analysis of parameters such as retardation, optic axis and the degree of polarisation uniformity.

All Thorlabs OCT systems are shipped with a high‐performance computer preinstalled with ThorImage OCT 5.1 image acquisition software as well as a user‐programmable Thorlabs OCT software development kit (SDK). To allow for custom data analysis, the user also has access to the raw data.

The user can choose to purchase a complete, preconfigured system, which includes a scanner with dedicated imaging objective, scanner stand and sample manipulation stage, or to opt for a user‐configurable solution where the customer chooses from a large selection of modular components.
