Abstract
A robotic imaging system has at least one robotic imaging arm that includes a free-space optics subsystem. The free-space optics is capable of conveying an excitation light signal through the robotic imaging arm to an optical end effector at the distal end thereof while maintaining coaxial alignment between the optical axis and the robotic skeleton. The free-space optics is also capable of maintaining linear polarization of the light signal.
