AB - The multi-modal miniature microscope (4M) device to image morphology and cytochemistry in vivo is a microscope on a chip including optical, micro-mechanical, and electronic components. This paper describes all major system components: optical system, custom high speed CMOS detector and comb drive actuator. The hybrid sol-gel lenses, their fabrication and assembling technology, optical system parameters, and various operation modes (fluorescence, reflectance, structured illumination) are also discussed. A particularly interesting method is a structured illumination technique that delivers confocal-imaging capabilities and may be used for optical sectioning. For reconstruction of the sectioned layer a sine approximation algorithm is applied. Structured illumination is produced with LIGA fabricated actuator scanning in resonance. The spatial resolution of the system is 1 ॖm, and was magnified by 4x matching the CMOS pixel size of 4 ॖm (a lateral magnification is 4:1), and the extent of field of the system is 250ॖm. An overview of the 4M device is combined with the presentation of imaging results for epithelial cell phantoms with optical properties characteristic of normal and cancerous tissue labeled with nanoparticles.
