Abstract
The optical sectioning capability of a fiber-optic scanning microscope with a 9-cm-long gradient-index-rod lens probe has been demonstrated. A transverse resolution of 1.3 μm and a longitudinal resolution of 30 μm were achieved. The dimensions of the probe allow the device to be used as an endoscope.Keywords
