Background, Motivation and Objective Optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) has attracted more attention as an important experimental tool of photoacoustic tomography with unique imaging capabilities for various biological applications. However, conventional OR-PAM systems are all table-top embodiments, which preclude their use in internal organs. In this study, by applying the OR-PAM concept to our recently developed photoacoustic endoscopy (PAE) technique, we developed the first fully-encapsulated optical-resolution photoacoustic endoscopy (OR-PAE) system, which enables internal organ imaging with a much finer resolution than conventional acoustic-resolution PAE systems.
