Abstract

Optical microscope is one of the most basic optical instruments and has been successfully applied to many fields. The related research has won three Nobel Prizes in modern times, covering physics and chemistry. How to use novel optical microscopy to carry out high-resolution visual monitoring inside living organisms has always been a goal pursued by optical imaging and biomedical researchers. In this talk, the recent development of optical microendsocpy in my group will be presented. The talk will introduce two unique core devices: PZT-based fiber scanner and micro-objective lens used in optical fiber confocal microscope, and explain the principles of them, as well as the first domestic medical confocal endoscopic instrument that can realize real-time visualization of mucosal cells of the human digestive tract; present the applications of microendoscopy. The developed instrument has been applied to the clinical diagnosis and treatment of gastric diseases, and its technical transformation has been applied to study brain functions (rewards, memory circuit for place navigation, etc.) shown in Fig. 1
