Title

Confocal Microscopy Based Agile Optical Endoscope Using Liquid Crystals

Abstract

Operational mechanism of optical endoscope operating on the confocal microscopy principle using liquid crystal (LC) optics, is discussed. The front-end tip design of the fiber-optic endoscope enables three dimensional scanning which comprises two liquid crystal deflectors for transverse (X-Y) angular scan. Broadband nature of LC operations makes the endoscope multi- task equipment. The probe tip in-line LC design act as a small endoscope that enables normal imaging of biological samples. A complete image is created by imaging a single point one by one using the endoscope tip.
