Just to follow up on the request below, I am particularly interested information regarding commercial technology that would allow me to image hard to access tissues without the need for a dedicated endoscope-type set up.  I mainly use a Leica SP5 with DM6000 upright, so an objective that could be used with that instrument would be ideal.  

Many thanks,
Leo

Dear Microscopists ,

I have just heard that the Olympus "Microprobe" objectives (http://www.olympusamerica.com/seg_section/seg_microprobe_objectives.asp ) are no longer available.  Does anyone know of an alternative with similar characteristics to the 27x they previously offered (i.e. <5 mm lens diameter with reasonable FOV and N.A.)?

Many thanks,
Leo
