Abstract<\/h4>\n
\n

Fiber-optic endomicroscopes open new avenues for the application of non-linear optics to novel\u00a0in vivo\u00a0applications. To achieve focus scanning\u00a0in vivo, shape memory alloy (SMA) wires have been used to move optical elements in miniature endomicroscopes. However, this method has various limitations, making it difficult to achieve accurate and reliable depth scanning. Here we present a feedback-controlled SMA depth scanner. With a Hall effect sensor, contraction of the SMA wire can be tracked in real time, rendering accurate and robust control of motion. The SMA depth scanner can achieve up to 490 \u00b5m travel and with open-loop operation, it can move more than 350 \u00b5m within one second. With the feedback loop engaged, submicron positioning accuracy was achieved along with superior positioning stability. The high-precision positioning capability of the SMA depth scanner was verified by depth-resolved nonlinear endomicroscopic imaging of mouse brain samples.<\/p>\n
