Stroke is one of the leading courses of death and disabilities. Various researches have been focusing on the detection and treatment of it. However, current imaging methods for detecting stroke have either limited resolution or tip size, because of which they are not suitable for small vessels that are important in the research on stroke treatment. We developed an ultrathin endoscopy method to image the blocks in vessels of a couple of microns in diameter.
