Attachable micro-endoscopy system to conventional microscope for live mouse organ imaging using 4f configuration

초록

The Micro-endoscopic technology combined with optical imaging system is essential for minimally invasive optical diagnosis and treatment in small animal disease models. Thus, the high resolution optical probe is required to achieve high resolution imaging. However, the optical imaging system requires highly precise and advanced technologies which are the main reasons for increasing system cost. Advancements in micro-optics and fiber optics technology have paved way in supporting compatibility among optical components. By providing compatibility between endoscopic system and existing conventional imaging equipment such as macro- or micro-scope, we could achieve in not only carrying out the high quality micro-endoscopic image procedure, but also reducing prices of the imaging system. The proposed system could be widely useful in the field of further biological study of animal disease model. Copyright © 2017 by SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications, Lda.
