Abstract

Optical coherence elastography (OCE) holds promise to image mechanical properties on the microscale with millimetre-scale penetration depth. Whilst OCE has been demonstrated in many applications, most notably in ophthalmology and oncology, there remains a great deal of work to develop OCE towards a precise and accurate mechanical characterisation technique for broad application in biomedicine. This Thesis features a number of advances in the development of OCE towards precise and accurate mechanical characterisation of cells and tissues, which may contribute to discoveries in mechanobiology and tissue mechanics.
