Abstract
A system for carrying out fibered multiphoton microscopic imagery of a sample () for use in endoscopy or fluorescence microscopy includes: a femtosecond pulsed laser () for generating a multiphoton excitation laser radiation; an image guide () having a number of optical fibers and permitting the sample to be illuminated by a point-by-point scanning in a subsurface plane; pre-compensating elements () for pre-compensating for dispersion effects of the excitation pulses in the image guide (), these elements being situated between the pulsed laser and the image guide (); scanning elements for directing, in succession, the excitation laser beam in a fiber of the image guide, and; in particular, an optical head () for focussing the excitation laser beam exiting the image guide in the sample ().
