1. An optical system for imaging, comprising:
- a light source first arrangement which is configured to provide at least one first electromagnetic radiation;
a waveguide second arrangement which is configured to receive and forward the at least one electromagnetic radiation as at least one second radiation;
a spectrally-dispersive third arrangement which is configured to receive the at least one second radiation from the second arrangement, and disperse the at least one second radiation on a sample; and
a waveguide fourth arrangement including a plurality of waveguides which are configured to receive at least one third radiation from the sample that is based on the at least one dispersed second radiation, wherein the second and fourth arrangements are at least partially different from one another,wherein the third and fourth arrangements are housed in a probe.
