1. A method for determining a condition of a tissue sample, comprising the steps of:

  • generating at least one light beam;

    splitting the light beam into at least one measuring light beam and at least one reference light beam;

    directing the measuring light beam into a tissue sample;

    adjusting a relative optical path between the reference light beam and the measuring light beam;

    bringing the measuring light beam scattered back by the tissue sample into an interference relationship with the reference light beam; and

    processing the interferometric signal to determine a condition of the tissue sample.
