    Abstract: The invention concerns an equipment comprising an image guide (1) consisting of flexible optical fibers with: on the proximal end side: a source (2), angular scanning means (3), injection means (4) in one of the fibers, means for splitting (5) the illuminating beam and the backscattered signal, means for spatial filtering (6), means for detecting (7) said signal, electronic means (8) for controlling, analyzing and digital processing of the detected signal and display; and on the distal end side: an optical head (9) for focusing the illuminating beam exiting from the illuminated fiber. The invention is characterized in that the means (3) comprise a resonant line mirror (M1) and a galvanometric field mirror (M2) with a variable frequency and two afocal optical systems adapted to conjugate the two mirrors (M1, M2) firstly in the field mirror (M2) and the injection means (4) in the image guide in a second step.
