Abstract

A novel Electronic-Speckle-Pattern Interferometer based on an endoscope camera system is presented which can be applied to hand-held examinations of technical objects and for in-vivo minimal invasive medical diagnostics. Optical fibers and endoscopic optics permit a very compact and flexible setup of this ESPI system. An amplitude modulated cw-laser is used for illumination. A CCD-camera in combination with a fast frame-grabber system allows dynamic “on line”-image subtractions up to a frequency of 25 Hz with high fringe contrast. First results of measurements with this system from investigations of technical objects and biological objects (in-vivo) are obtained. With this method, the operator’s tactile contact with the treated tissue which is lost in endoscopic minimal invasive therapy can be replaced by visual information (endoscopic taction).
