Optica

Founded in 1916, OSA brings together optics and photonics scientists, engineers, educators, technicians and business leaders. OSA is dedicated to providing its members and the scientific community with educational resources that support technical and professional development.
The images acquired using 3D terahertz near-field imaging were used to create 3D reconstructions, allowing visualization of part of the cochlear duct, the spiral structure inside the cochlea.
