    "abstract": "We show that two-dimensional arrays of thin metallic wires can guide\ntransverse electromagnetic (TEM) waves and focus them to the spatial dimensions\nmuch smaller that the vacuum wavelength. This guiding property is retained for\nthe tapered wire bundles which can be used as multi-channel TEM endoscopes:\nthey capture a detailed electromagnetic field profile created by deeply\nsub-wavelength features of the studied sample and magnify it for observation.\nThe resulting imaging method is superior to the conventional scanning\nmicroscopy because of the parallel nature of the image acquisition by multiple\nmetal wires. Possible applications include terahertz and mid-infrared endoscopy\nwith nanoscale resolution.",
