Abstract: An apparatus irradiating a sample is provided. Such apparatus can include an interferometer forwarding an electromagnetic radiation and a sample arm receiving the electromagnetic radiation. The sample arm can include an arrangement which is configured to produce at least two radiations from the electromagnetic radiation so as to irradiate the sample, and to delay a first radiation of the at least two radiations with respect to a second radiation of the at least two radiations. For example, the delay of a path of the first radiation compared to a path of the second radiation can be at least 500µm in air.

Abstract: An apparatus and source arrangement for filtering an electromagnetic radiati on can be provided which may include at least one spectral separating arrangeme nt configured to physically separate one or more components of the electromagnetic radiation based on a frequency of the electromagnetic radiation. The apparatus and source arrangement may also have at least one continuously rotating optical arrangement which is configured to receive at least one signal that is associated with the one or more components. Further , the apparatus and source arrangement can include at least one beam selecting arrangement configured to receive the signal.

Abstract: An apparatus for needle biopsy with real time tissue differentiation using one dimensional interferometric ranging imaging, comprising a biopsy device having a barrel and a needle, an optical fiber inserted in the needle, and a fiber optic imaging system connected to the optical fiber. The imaging system obtains images and compares the optical properties and patterns to a database of normalized tissue sample images to determine different tissue types. The physician performing the biopsy obtains feedback via a feedback unit associated with the biopsy device and which is connected to the imaging system. The feedback unit can provide visual, audible or vibratory feedback as to tissue type encountered when the needle is inserted toward the target tissue.; The feedback unit can be programmed for different biopsy procedures so that the user can actuate a button to select a display or other feedback mechanism for the desired procedure and anticipated tissue to be encountered.
