The invention relates to an OCT examination device for detecting an object by means of optical coherence tomography, comprising an OCT radiation source, which emits an OCT radiation, an OCT beam path, comprising an OCT output direction of the OCT radiation from the OCT radiation source, a housing, which receives the OCT radiation source, an outlet opening of the OCT radiation from the OCT radiation source formed in the housing, an OCT outlet direction of the radiation through the outlet opening, a control unit, which is connected to the OCT radiation source for signaling, in order to detect a plurality of measurement profiles spaced apart from each other in a detection period and to control the OCT radiation source for emitting the OCT radiation within the detection period and in order to keep the OCT output direction and the OCT emission direction constant in the angle alignment thereof relative to each other during the detection time period.
