Visualizing the microscopic structure of plants in vivo, non-invasively, and in real-time is the Holy Grail of botany. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has all the characteristics necessary to achieve this feat. Indeed, OCT provides volumetric images of the internal structure of plants without the need for histological preparation. With its micrometric resolution, OCT is commonly used in medicine, primarily in ophthalmology. But it is seldom used in the field of botany. The aim of the present work is thus to review the latest technical development in the field of OCT and to highlight its current use in botany, in order to promote the technique and further advance research in the field of botany.

在体内、非侵入性且实时地可视化植物的微观结构是植物学的圣杯。光学相干断层扫描（OCT）具备实现这一壮举所需的所有特性。实际上，OCT无需组织学制备就能提供植物内部结构的体积图像。凭借其微米级分辨率，OCT常用于医学，主要是眼科。但它在植物学领域很少被使用。因此，本工作的目的是回顾OCT领域的最新技术发展，并突出其目前在植物学中的应用，以推广该技术并进一步推动植物学领域的研究。
