We present an endomicroscope apparatus that utilizes structured illumination to produce high resolution (similar to 2.6 mu m) optically sectioned fluorescence images over a field of view of about 240 mu m. The endomicroscope is based on the use of a flexible imaging fiber bundle with a miniaturized objective. We also present a strategy to largely suppress structured illumination artifacts that arise when imaging in thick tissue that exhibits significant out-of-focus background. To establish the potential of our endomicroscope for preclinical or clinical applications, we provide images of BCECF-AM labeled rat colonic mucosa.
