Abstract
Fifteen years ago, exploitation of fiber-optics in scanning confocal optical microscopy was minimal. Most practical applications relied upon technology derived quite directly from telecommunications applications (particularly the types of fibers themselves and the methods by which they were produced, packaged, and interfaced).
