a Schematic illustration of the fully packaged fiber-optic harmonograph, including an objective mount, front/ring mounts, and a fiber scanner. b Fully packaged fiber-optic harmonograph (OD = 2.6 mm, length = 30mm). c Endomicroscopic probe packaged for waterproofing and sterilization. d Three different packages of the laparoscopic (OD = 3.4mm, length = 300mm), pen, and mini (OD = 2.6 mm, length = 30mm) types. e Laparoscopic type fitting into the working channel of a conventional laparoscope. f The working distance of 50 μm was measured by optical sectioning along the z-axis with a conventional confocal microscope. g Beam profile at the focal plane. The lateral resolution is 3.2 μm. Scale bars are 10 μm
