MEMS-based handheld confocal microscope for in-vivo skin imaging
This paper describes a handheld laser scanning confocal microscope for skin microscopy. Beam scanning is accomplished with an electromagnetic MEMS bi-axial micromirror developed for pico projector applications, providing 800 x 600 (SVGA) resolution at 56 frames per second. The design uses commercial objective lenses with an optional hemisphere front lens, operating with a range of numerical ape...
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 کاملTargeted vertical cross-sectional imaging with handheld near-infrared dual axes confocal fluorescence endomicroscope
We demonstrate vertical cross-sectional (XZ-plane) images of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence with a handheld dual axes confocal endomicroscope that reveals specific binding of a Cy5.5-labeled peptide to pre-malignant colonic mucosa. This view is perpendicular to the tissue surface, and is similar to that used by pathologists. The scan head is 10 mm in outer diameter (OD), and integrates a one ...
متن کاملVideo-rate in vivo fluorescence imaging with a line-scanned dual-axis confocal microscope.
Video-rate optical-sectioning microscopy of living organisms would allow for the investigation of dynamic biological processes and would also reduce motion artifacts, especially for in vivo imaging applications. Previous feasibility studies, with a slow stage-scanned line-scanned dual-axis confocal (LS-DAC) microscope, have demonstrated that LS-DAC microscopy is capable of imaging tissues with ...
متن کاملNote: A three-dimensional calibration device for the confocal microscope.
Modern confocal microscopes enable high-precision measurement in three dimensions by collecting stacks of 2D (x-y) images that can be assembled digitally into a 3D image. It is difficult, however, to ensure position accuracy, particularly along the optical (z) axis where scanning is performed by a different physical mechanism than in x-y. We describe a simple device to calibrate simultaneously ...
