An ophthalmic endoscope which is used in medical applications should have the total diameter less than 1 mm. Its image resolution is limited to 30∼40 lp/mm. Therefore, the image resolution is one of the most important factors to decide image quality of the ophthalmic endoscopic images. This study obtained high resolution and magnifying ophthalmic endoscopic images by a new optical design using a 0.23 pitch GRIN lens and high resolution fiber-optic image guide which has less than 5 ${mu}{ extrm}{m}$ diameter microfibers. The resolutions of images from existing and from a new type of ophthalmic endoscope are measured and compared using a USAF resolution target.
