Example of OCT-SS-01 imaging: Rice

 Fresh rice (within 1 month after milling stored in a refrigerator) and degraded rice (more than 6 months after milling stored at room temperature) were imaged and compared using OCT-SS-01. Although no significant differences were observed with the naked eye, the differences between fresh and degraded rice could be observed when compared with OCT-SS-01 images. ①Projection image  The “cracks” caused by dryness, which cannot be seen with the naked eye, could be observed clearly. ②Cross-section image  In the degraded rice, we found that “cracks” and “stains” that could not be seen with the naked eye or projected images reached the inside...
