OCT study of skin optical clearing with preliminary laser ablation of epidermis

We report the results of the experimental study of optical immersion clearing of laboratory animals skin in vivo with preliminary laser ablation of epidermis. It is shown that the ablation of the skin surface leads to the local edema that reduces the optical detection depth immediately after the imp...
