Abstract(in English) Recently, remarkable attention has been focused on visualization of thin sections of biological tissue using low-coherent light interferometry; however, quantitative evaluation of the resolution in detected images has not been discussed in detail. In our experiment, reflection light on a fine test pattern was heterodyne-detected, via scattering media of a few millimeter, using the Michelson interferometer with a near-infrared super luminescent diode (SLD). Dry-milk suspended water and chicken tissue were used as scattering media. In particular, optical filtering with a single-mode fiber was effective for selective detection of ballistic photons to obtain high resolution. It was then found that the resolution was >10μm along the depth and <10μm in the cross-section.
