A confocal microscope lens arrangement is provided. The confocal microscope lens arrangement includes a lens assembly housing which has a lens assembly, and an exterior housing including a distal end and a proximal end. The exterior housing is configured to allow the lens assembly housing to be placed therein, and translated between the proximal end and the distal end of the exterior housing to focus the lens assembly. The exterior housing has an aperture formed through a distal end thereof. The arrangement also includes an immersion media filling the volume of area between the exterior housing and the lens assembly housing.

Microscope objectives

A scanning confocal microscopy system and apparatus, especially useful for endoscopy with a flexible probe which is connected to the end of an optical fiber ( ). The probe has a grating ( ) and a lens ( ) which delivers a beam of multi-spectral light having spectral components which extend in one dimension across a region of an object and which is moved to scan in another dimension. The reflected confocal spectrum is measured to provide an image of the region.
