Abstract: There is provided an endoscopy instrument (20) for in-vivo characterisation of tissue. The endoscopy instrument (20) comprises: a probe (26) for insertion into a body orifice and probing the tissue through the body orifice; an actuator (30,32) operably coupled to the probe (26) so that the actuator (30,32) is operable to, through the probe (26), cause mechanical deformation of the tissue; and an imaging device (24) operably coupled to the probe (26) so that the imaging device (24) is operable to, through the probe (26), obtain an image of the mechanically deformed tissue.
