ABSTRACT:
Apparatuses and methods for scanned beam imagers and scanned beam endoscopes having a positionable light collector are disclosed. In one aspect, a scanned beam imager includes a scanned beam source operable to scan a beam across a FOV and a light collector structured to collect light affected by the FOV. The light collector is positionable relative to the beam scanned by the scanned beam source. Scanned beam endoscopes and methods of performing endoscopy are also disclosed that implement the above teachings.
