چکیده
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.

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 کاملHandheld subcellular-resolution single-fiber confocal microscope using high-reflectivity two-axis vertical combdrive silicon microscanner.
We introduce a handheld single-fiber laser-scanning confocal microscope, incorporating a high-reflectivity two-axis silicon vertical combdrive microscanner, aimed at in vivo early detection of epithelial precancers. The approach adopted is motivated by need for a portable, economical, biopsy-free, early precancer screening technology in low-infrastructure environments. Our microelectromechanica...
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...
متن کاملDesign and implementation of fiber-based multiphoton endoscopy with microelectromechanical systems scanning.
A multiphoton endoscopy system has been developed using a two-axis microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) mirror and double-cladding photonic crystal fiber (DCPCF). The MEMS mirror has a 2-mm-diam, 20-deg optical scanning angle, and 1.26-kHz and 780-Hz resonance frequencies on the x and y axes. The maximum number of resolvable focal spots of the MEMS scanner is 720 x 720 on the x and y axes, whi...
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 ...
