A fibre endoscope system () comprises a catheter () with a probe head () for entering into a body cavity (C) adjacent or near a sample region (S). A source fiber () has a first fiber ending () and a signal fiber () has a second fiber ending () both remote from the probe head () but separate. A sampling fiber () has a third fiber ending () disposed at the probe head (). A fiber coupler () is configured to optically couple at least the source fiber () to the sampling fiber (), and the sampling fiber () to the signal fiber (). A sampling fiber length (L) of the sampling fiber () between a fiber coupler () and the third fiber ending () is shorter than a source fiber length (L) of the source fiber () between the fiber coupler () and the first fiber ending ().
