Acquisition of super/high-resolution images from within internal organs using endoscopic optical imaging has numerous clinical applications. I am interested in improving the resolution of endoscopic imaging based on diffractive optics to find these cancers earlier. The superior resolution of the DOE (diffractive optical element)-based endoscope is likely to increase the clinical utility of endoscopic optical imaging.
