Integrated multimodal optical microscopy for structural and functional imaging of engineered and natural skin.

abstract：:Previous studies for melanin visualization in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) have exploited either its absorption properties (using photoacoustic tomography or photothermal optical coherence tomography [OCT]) or its depolarization properties (using polarization sensitive OCT). However, these methods are only sui...
