Abstract
A system provides combined diffuse optical microscopy (DOM) and fluorescence endomicroscopy (FE). The system may use a single light source which generates structured illumination for both modalities. FE and DOM images may be displayed for qualitative assessment. Quantitative assessments may be based on both FE and DOM images. The quantitative assessments may be applied to characterize tissues. Some embodiments provide multi-spectral DOM.
