SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on measuring the thickness and refractive index of a sample using Fourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). The user has successfully calculated the thickness of a glue layer on a glass microscope slide but seeks guidance on determining the refractive index of the glue. Key considerations include the transparency and color of the glue, which can affect the measurement process.
