Characterization of the illumination focal volume through a MMF in a 22% glucose solution. (a,b) Focal volume at the center of the MMF characterized by (a) the IEF and (b) FWHM as a function of the calibration medium (n = 6 fiber segments, open circles represent individual measurements). (c,d) Radial variation in (c) the peak intensity and (d) FWHM of the focal volume for a calibration done in air and in a 22% glucose solution (n = 3 fiber segments). Full circles are average values and error bars represent the standard deviation.
