Schematic illustration of the meta-optical fiber endoscope (MOFIE).

Caption

A meta-optic is optimised for integration with the coherent fiber bundle, whereas the individual fiber cores are taken as the imaging limitation. The MOFIE achieves a reduced tip length while maintaining a wide field of view of 22.5° and a large depth of field exceeding 30 mm, compared with a traditional GRIN lens.
