Abstract
A highly flexible tunable optical micro-system has been developed and characterized for its use in endoscopic optics, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT). By using two individually tunable lenses, various optical arrangements can easily be realized, allowing great variability in beam shaping. This innovative approach surpasses common endoscopic optics in terms of flexibility, as the measuring beam can be adapted to the surrounding tissue at any time.
