- Abstract
Optical coherence tomography (OCT), a non-contact, non-destructive imaging technique, is becoming a popular tool in phytophotonics, helping to address research questions in plant biology and horticulture. However, the stationary nature of typical OCT systems compromises its non-destructive advantage since plants often need to be dissected for an analysis with a laboratory OCT system. Here we present a portable, low-cost OCT system that enables in-situ measurements of plants. We outline technical challenges encountered during the development and showcase initial measurements of different plant tissues.
