We describe the design of a versatile electronic system performing a lock-in detection in parallel on every pixel of a 2D CCD camera. The system is based on a multiplexed lock- in detection method that requires accurate synchronization of the camera, the excitation signal and the processing computer. This device has been incorporated in an imaging setup based on the optical coherence tomography principle, enabling to acquire a full 2D head-on image without scanning. The imaging experiment is implemented on a modified commercial microscope. Lateral resolution is on the order of 2 micrometers , and the coherence length of the light source defines an axial resolution of approximately 8 micrometers . Images of onion cells a few hundred microns deep into the sample are obtained with 100 dB sensitivity.
