Abstract

Organoid and spheroid technology provide valuable insights into developmental biology and oncology. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a label-free technique that has emerged as an excellent tool for monitoring the structure and function of these samples. However, mature organoids are often too opaque for OCT. Access to multi-angle views is highly desirable to overcome this limitation, preferably with non-contact sample handling. To fulfil these requirements, we present an ultrasound-induced reorientation method for multi-angle-OCT, which employs a 3D-printed acoustic trap inserted into an OCT imaging system, to levitate and reorient zebrafish larvae and tumor spheroids in a controlled and reproducible manner. A model-based algorithm was developed for the physically consistent fusion of multi-angle data from a priori unknown angles. We demonstrate enhanced penetration depth in the joint 3D-recovery of reflectivity, attenuation, refractive index, and position registration for zebrafish larvae, creating an enabling tool for future applications in volumetric imaging.
