Abstract :
An optical and fluidic micro-bench with integrated liquid-filled tunable micro-lenses is developed for an endoscopic probe. This novel approach offers not only dynamic focussing, but also a greatly increased working range for biomedical optical imaging. The fabrication and assembly method is highly precise and flexible and can be used for designing optical probes with high functionality.
