Abstract:
A method for high-resolution imaging includes: (i) forming, via a first lens, a first image at a first bundle-end of a fiber imaging bundle that has a second bundle-end opposite the first bundle-end and (ii) forming, via a second lens, an image of the second bundle-end onto an image sensor. The method also includes (iii) vibrating the first bundle-end relative to the first lens to dither the first image, and (iv) synchronously vibrating, relative to the vibrating first bundle-end, the second bundle-end relative to the second lens.
