Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2013104075A1] A stereoscopic imaging apparatus is provided for creating anamorphic stereoscopic image pairs on a single image sensor from light obtained along a single optical path through a single optical axis front lens assembly and through two apertures on opposite sides of the optical axis of the front lens assembly. An anamorphic element changes the aspect ratio of the stereo image pair in order to fit both images on the same sensor, one aligned above the other, compressed in the vertical by substantially 50%. A pair of sampling lenses positioned proximate, overlapping and abaxial with the corresponding apertures facilitates the direction of the images in the stereo image pair to their respective positions on the sensor. A rear lens assembly is provided for physically forming the stereo image pair on the sensor. The apparatus can be incorporated in different optical systems, including cameras, video cameras, endoscopes and microscopes.
