1. An apparatus for studying an object based on at least one of polarization, space, position or angle of light that has reflected from the object comprising:

  • an optical tomographic instrumentation including a light source coupled to a source path, a sample path, a reference path, and a detection path, wherein the light source generates a spectrally resolved bandwidth; and

    the spectrally resolved bandwidth includes a plurality of spectrally resolved cells and a detector in the detection path for analyzing light reflected from an object in the sample path and the light reflected in the reference path based upon at least one of the polarization, spatial relationship, position or angle domains, wherein an optical coherence tomography A-scan for the object being imaged is selected by the ratio of Ninstrument/NA-scan

    Tinstrument

    TA-scan for the polarization, space, position or angle domain.
