A GRISM-Based Probe for Spectrally Encoded Confocal Microscopy

Abstract: Spectrally encoded confocal microscopy (SECM) is a novel approach for obtaining high resolution, depth-sectioned images of microstructure within turbid samples.  By encoding one dimension in wavelength, imaging probes can be greatly simplified compared to standard scanning confocal microscopes, potentially enabling endoscopic implementation. Optics Express (OSA): “A GRISM-based probe for spectrally encoded […]
