An electrical engineer at Stanford has led the effort to develop an endoscope that is not only as thin as a human hair but also boasts a resolution four times better than existing ultrathin models.

Engineers at Stanford have demonstrated a high-resolution endoscope that is as thin as a human hair with a resolution four times better than previous devices of similar design. The so-called ...

If you are used to getting regular health checkups, you might be familiar with endoscopes. The endoscope is an imaging device consisting of a camera and a light guide attached to a long flexible tube.

Researchers have fabricated a new kind of air-filled optical fiber bundle that could greatly improve endoscopes used for medical procedures like minimally invasive surgeries or bronchoscopies.

Endoscopes for medical imaging have commonly been based around coherent fiber bundles (CFB) containing several thousand optical fiber cores, along with a suitable form of lens system at the probe's ...

Cardiovascular disease caused by atherosclerosis, a build-up of plaque on the inner walls of arteries which affects normal blood flow, is a major health problem worldwide. But atherosclerosis is not a ...
