This image demonstrates a schematic of the OCT system used to generate images of the seeded and unseeded scaffolding. Imaging was performed at 10 frames per second that allowed rapid three-dimensional high-resolution reconstruction. The light source operates at a central frequency of 1300 nanometers that corresponds to an axial resolution of 10 microns measured from the point spread function off a mirror. The lateral resolution is approximately 25 microns. The scan rate is up to 3000 lines per second with a dynamic range of 100 decibels. The power on the sample was 10 milliwatts. An imaging catheter was used that was 0.019 inches in diameter with a focal line length of 2.0 millimeters. Recorded data was reconstructed in 3-D with Image J.
