processed, and stored. 3D volume display capability of the data is provided with the preinstalled software. The
OCT data may be displayed in 2D or 3D mode.

The software allows real-time recording of 2D or 3D data into disk files at full imaging speed. The recorded binary
data files can be exported into standard image files (jpeg, bmp) or converted to movie files (avi).

Detailed operating instructions for the SSOCT Software are provided in a separate SS
