    FIGURE 1. SS-OCT at megahertz speed is not as futuristic as it may seem: The OCTA 12 × 12 mm FOV scan (a) was captured in less than 2.5 s (at 1.7 million A-scans/second) and delivers the same quality as the image in (b), which took 25 s to scan using a 100 kHz system.

    Near-infrared light stimulates mitochondrial activity and is being tested in both animals and humans as a possible way to lessen cognitive dysfunction.
    Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) provides spatial superresolution through analysis of the Moire pattern that results when two frequencies overlap (a). SIM expands the spatial reciprocal domain (b), while pSIM expands both the spatial and angular reciprocal domains (c).
