Abstract:
An imaging system can include an optical fiber and a light source for providing optical stimulation to a region of interest along the optical fiber. A camera can capture emission such as fluorescence resulting from the optical stimulation. A cannula configured for implantation into a subject can be configured to direct the emission from the subject. A mating sleeve coupling the cannula to the optical fiber, and configured to support the camera, can include a dichroic mirror to allow the optical stimulation to pass from the optical fiber to the cannula and to redirect the emission from the cannula to the camera.
