Abstract
A fiber optic needle probe is described that includes a length of optical fiber inside a hollow needle for supporting the optical fiber along its length. A distal end of the optical fiber is formed by a formed convex tip protruding beyond a distal end of the hollow needle. The distal end of the optical fiber is formed by a formed conical tip with a cone angle less than hundred degrees. The shape of the convex tip formed at the distal end of the optical fiber is found particularly suitable for repeated insertion into a tissue with minimal tendency of tissue residue sticking to the tip.
