Histologic correlation of pig retina radial stratification with ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To compare ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) cross-sectional images of the pig retina with histology, to evaluate the potential of ultrahigh-resolution OCT for enhanced visualization of intra- and subretinal structures.

Methods: Ultrahigh-resolution OCT images were acquired with 1.4- micro m axial x 3- micro m transverse resolution from in vitro posterior eyecup preparations of the domestic pig.
