Abstract
Disclosed are an endoscopic reflection microscope using an optical fiber bundle and an image acquisition method using the same. The endoscopic reflection microscope includes an incident wave output unit configured to output an incident wave to a target object through any one optical fiber in an optical fiber bundle, a reflected wave receiver configured to receive a reflected wave output from the target object in response to the incident wave through a plurality of corresponding optical fibers in the optical fiber bundle, and an image acquirer configured to establish a reflection matrix corresponding to the reflected wave and to acquire an image in which at least one of phase retardation of the incident wave or phase retardation of the reflected wave is compensated for based on the established reflection matrix.
