ABSTRACT:
A microprobe that is capable of using an incident and reflected radiation ray for three-dimensional (3-D) bio-imaging. The microprobe comprises a hollow body closed at one end and having an aperture at an opposite end, at least one 3-D free space micromirror, at least one focusing lens, and a beam director or a beam coupler or other kind of device for beam coupling or splitting. The beam director is arranged at the aperture end of the hollow body and is adapted to direct the incident ray into the hollow body via the aperture. Within said hollow body is the at least one focusing lens and the at least one micromirror arranged respectively from the aperture, such that the distance between the focusing lens and the micromirror allows for the incident light ray to be directed onto the micromirror.
