We report on a new detection scheme for Fourier domain optical coherence microscopy that exhibits high
transverse resolution along an axially extended focal range. Nearly constant transverse resolution of
1.5 m along a focal range of 200 m is experimentally verified with a maximum sensitivity of 105 dB. A
broad-bandwidth Ti:sapphire laser allowed for an axial resolution of 3 m in air.

 ---------

Axicon use: "In the sample arm the collimated beam passes an axicon lens (Del Mar Photonics,170° apex angle) and is focused via achromat L2 f=100 mm into a ring of d=8 mm diameter at the back focal plane of lens"
