Majority of the existing systems can, however, resolve film coatings for thickness greater than 10 \u00b5m. Here we report on an ultra-high-resolution (UHR) OCT system, with 1 \u00b5m axial and 1.6 \u00b5m lateral resolutions, which can resolve thin coatings at approximately 4 \u00b5m. We further demonstrate a novel application of the system for differentiating generic and branded suppliers of paracetamol tablets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zhang Z, Williams B, Zheng Y, Lin H, Shen Y.
