mechanism focuses the light sequentially onto each individualfiber in the
coherent bundle, so that the light gets transmitted to the sample. Using vendor
literature, reference texts, or Web resources, describe the operating principle of
commercially available xy laser scanning mechanism for such an application.
Include factors such as scanning speed, incremental stepping from onefiber to
another, and the lens requirements to focus onto individualfibers in afiber
bundle.
8 :9 Consider the optical fiber-based confocal microscope system shown in
Fig.8.5. Describe various options for selecting an opticalfiber bundle for this
application.
