Fiber-optic confocal microscope using a MEMS scanner and miniature objective lens.
We designed and constructed a single-fiber-optic confocal microscope (SFCM) with a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) scanner and a miniature objective lens. Axial and lateral resolution values for the system were experimentally measured to be 9.55 mum and 0.83 mum respectively, in good agreement with theoretical predictions. Reflectance images were acquired at a rate of 8 frames per second, ...
متن کاملIn vivo fiber-optic confocal reflectance microscope with an injection-molded plastic miniature objective lens.
For in vivo optical diagnostic technologies to be distributed to the developed and developing worlds, optical imaging systems must be constructed of inexpensive components. We present a fiber-optic confocal reflectance microscope with a cost-effective injection-molded plastic miniature objective lens for in vivo imaging of human tissues in near real time. The measured lateral resolution is less...
متن کاملDesign of a high-numerical-aperture miniature microscope objective for an endoscopic fiber confocal reflectance microscope.
An endoscopic confocal microscope requires a high-performance, miniaturized microscope objective. We present the design of a miniature water-immersion microscope objective that is approximately 10 times smaller in length than a typical commercial objective. The miniature objective is 7 mm in outer diameter and 21 mm in length (from object to image). It is used in a fiber confocal reflectance mi...
متن کاملSingle fiber confocal microscope with a two-axis gimbaled MEMS scanner for cellular imaging.
We present a single fiber reflectance confocal microscope with a two dimensional MEMS gimbaled scanner. Achieved lateral and axial resolutions are 0.82 mum and 13 mum, respectively. The field of view is 140 x 100 mum at 8 frames/second. Images and videos of cell phantoms and tissue are presented with sub-cellular resolution.
متن کاملMiniature objective lens with variable focus for confocal endomicroscopy.
Spectrally encoded confocal microscopy (SECM) is a reflectance confocal microscopy technology that can rapidly image large areas of luminal organs at microscopic resolution. One of the main challenges for large-area SECM imaging in vivo is maintaining the same imaging depth within the tissue when patient motion and tissue surface irregularity are present. In this paper, we report the developmen...
