Abstract

See full text

A scanning confocal microscopy system, especially useful for endoscopy with a flexible probe which is connected to the end of an optical fiber(9). The probe has a grating(12) and a lens(14) which delivers a beam of multi-spectral light having spectral components which extend in one dimension across a region of an object and which is moved to scan in another dimension. The reflected confocal spectrum is measured to provide an image of the region.
