Single fiber confocal microscope with a two-axis gimbaled MEMS scanner for cellular imaging

Opt Express. 2006 Sep 18;14(19):8604-12. doi: 10.1364/oe.14.008604.

Abstract

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.
