Fig. 1 — OCT-forceps probe design with OCT images of the probe’s tips. (a) Drawing of the OCT-forceps probe design with an internal 0.51 mm diameter (25-gauge) stainless steel tube (SST) with embedded scanning OCT fiber optic and a gripper cut in the front portion. An external 23-gauge SST slides to open/close the forceps. The OCT beam scans through both tips of the forceps. (b) An external manual hand piece actuator causes the external 23-gauge SST tube to slide which opens/closes the forceps. (c) The unprocessed OCT image appearance of the forceps’ tips is illustrated with real-time OCT imaging of the forceps’ tips closing and opening demonstrated ( Media 1^{(6.1MB, MP4)}).
