Angle-resolved low coherence interferometry (a/LCI) is an optical technique used to
measure nuclear morphology in situ. However, a/LCI is not an imaging modality and can
produce ambiguous results when the measurements are not properly oriented to the tissue
architecture. Here we present a 2D a/LCI system which incorporates optical coherence
tomography imaging to guide the measurements. System design and characterization are

However, a/LCI is not an imaging modality and can produce ambiguous results when the measurements are not properly oriented to the tissue architecture. Here we present a 2D a/LCI system which incorporates optical coherence tomography imaging to guide the measurements. System design and characterization are presented, along with example cases which demonstrate the utility of the combined measurements. In addition, future development and applications of this dual modality approach are discussed.
