Abstract
Confocal microscopy can provide a noninvasive mechanism for imaging objects with sub-micron resolution. This paper focuses on the use of LC optics for confocal endoscopy. Specifically, an agile optical endoscope design is proposed using LCs, including design options that enable video rate 3-D imaging.
