Abstract
Fiber optic endomicroscopy is a valuable tool
for clinical diagnostics and animal studies because it can
capture images of tissue in vivo with subcellular resolution.
Current configurations for endomicroscopes have either
limited spatial resolution or require a scanning mechanism
at the distal end of the fiber, which can slow imaging speed
and increase the probe size. We present a novel configuration
that provides high contrast 350 × 350 pixel images at
7.2 frames per second, without the need for mechanical
scanning at the proximal or distal end of the fiber. The proofof-
concept benchtop system is tested in fluorescence mode
and can resolve 1.5 μm features of a high resolution 1951
USAF target.
