Dual-wedge scanning confocal reflectance microscope.
A confocal reflectance microscope has been developed that incorporates a dual-wedge scanner to reduce the size of the device relative to current raster scanning instruments. The scanner is implemented with two prisms that are rotated about the optical axis. Spiral and rosette scans are performed by rotating the prisms in the same or opposite directions, respectively. Experimental measurements s...
متن کاملMiniature Dual Axes Confocal Microscope for Real Time In Vivo Imaging
Today, disease interpretation of excised tissue is performed by analyzing biopsy specimens with a tabletop microscope [1]. While this method is effective, the process can be limited by sampling error, processing costs, and preparation time. In addition, the interpretive accuracy of the specimens can be affected by artefacts associated with tissue sectioning, paraffin embedding, and histochemica...
متن کاملIn vivo imaging of oral neoplasia using a miniaturized fiber optic confocal reflectance microscope.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether in vivo images of oral mucosa obtained with a fiber optic confocal reflectance microscope could be used to differentiate normal and neoplastic tissues. We imaged 20 oral sites in eight patients undergoing surgery for squamous cell carcinoma. Normal and abnormal areas within the oral cavity were identified clinically, and real-time videos of eac...
متن کاملFiber confocal reflectance microscope (FCRM) for in-vivo imaging.
In-vivo imaging can be achieved with a coherent-fiber-bundle based confocal reflectance microscope. Such a microscope could provide the means to detect pre-cancerous lesions in the cervix by characterizing cells' nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio. In this paper we present the design of such a fiber confocal reflectance microscope, with an emphasis on its optical sub-systems. The optical sub-systems ...
متن کاملCompact optical design for dual-axes confocal endoscopic microscopes
Here we describe a simple optical design for a MEMS-based dual-axes fiber optic confocal scanning microscope that has been miniaturized for handheld imaging of tissues, and which is capable of being further scaled to smaller dimensions for endoscope compatibility while preserving it’s field-of-view (FOV), working distance, and resolution. Based on the principle of parallel beams that are focuse...
