Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A device ( 1 ) for imaging the interior of an optically turbid medium is provided. The device comprises a receptacle ( 3; 103 ) structured to accommodate an optically turbid medium for examination and an optically matching medium filling a space between an inner surface ( 6; 106 ) of the receptacle ( 3; 103 ) and the optically turbid medium. The device comprises at least one light source generating light to be coupled into the receptacle ( 3; 103 ) and at least one detector for detecting light emanating from the receptacle ( 3; 103 ). A coupling surface ( 10; 110 ) optically coupled to the inner surface ( 6; 106 ) of the receptacle and a coupling member ( 11; 111 ) optically coupled to the light source and the detector are provided. The coupling surface ( 10; 110 ) and the coupling member ( 11; 111 ) are movable to a plurality of different positions relative to each other and structured to establish an optical connection from the light source to the inner surface ( 6; 106 ) of the receptacle and from the inner surface ( 6; 106 ) of the receptacle to the at least one detector in the plurality of different positions.
