Abstract
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was employed to reveal physical disorders in Capsicum annum (pepper) leaves. Healthy as well as abnormal Capsicum annum leaf samples with various leaf spots were chosen for the experiment. The acquired OCT cross-sectional and volumetric images demonstrated several distinguishing attributes in subsurface boundary regions of the leaf samples including individual leaf layers and specific leaf d isorders. A-scan analysis further clarified significant differences in the microstructures of leaf sub-surface layers. The obtained results confirm OCT as a noninvasive and nondestructive technique to reveal surface structures and sub-surface cellular layers with high resolution in Capsicum annum leaf diagnostics.
