5. Device Overview
SOCT Copernicus+ uses spectral domain optical coherence tomography method to obtain
3-dimensional cross-section images of a human retina. The device produces a laser beam,
which is focused on a human retina. The light that reflects from internal structures of a retina
is then interferometrically analyzed by the device. The raw data is processed by a computer to
obtain images of retina cross-section.
