An endoscopic imaging system includes an endoscope with a beam deflecting mechanism at or adjacent its distal end for directing a beam of illumination light over an area of interest. Reflected light is gathered by one or more lenses and supplied to a light sensor and an image processor/computer that produces an image of the tissue. In one embodiment, the beam deflecting mechanism comprises a pair of mirrors that are oscillated such that light is scanned in a raster pattern over the area of interest. |
