Abstract

This paper presents the design of a scanning probe based on a dual-wedge scanner concept. In contrast to the original dual-wedge scanner, which consisted of two prisms, this scanner utilizes one prism and an angle-polished ball lens to reduce the total size. By separately rotating the ball lens and prism at different speeds, it is possible to achieve a two-dimensional spiral or rosette scan pattern. The advantage of this scanning probe isits potential to be miniaturized. The scanner presented here has a cylindrical diameter of 3.9mm and a length of 4mm, allowing applications of imaging inner organs in vivo.
