Abstract
The multi-modal miniature microscope (4M) device [1, 2] is designed to be a complete microscope on a chip (i.e., a micro optical table), including optical, micro-mechanical, and electronic components which are capable of imaging the morphologic and biochemical features of precancerous cells in vivo. A complete device geometry is presented in Figure 1. The combination of miniaturization and imaging capability provides broad applicability in many organ sites. Our goal is to first use 4M devices to improve the detection of pre-cancers in organs such as the oral cavity and uterine cervix which can be accessed.
