Claim 11:
12. An imaging apparatus comprising:
an optical assembly movable between a first position and a second position along an arcuate path,
wherein the optical assembly includes:
a light source configured to emit light therefrom into an eye for illumination of a retina during an imaging procedure,
an objective lens configured to collect reflected light so as to image the retina, and
a lens tube configured to direct the reflected light toward a capturing medium;

an enclosure in which at least a portion of the optical assembly is housed;
a first interface component accessible along an exterior surface of the enclosure for moving the optical assembly between the first and second positions;
an occlusion plate having an aperture through which the objective lens extends when the optical assembly is located in the first and second positions; and
a mask connected to the enclosure in such a manner to facilitate alignment of a left eye with the first position and a right eye with the second position,
wherein the mask includes a pair of slots for accommodating the occlusion plate,
wherein a first portion of the occlusion plate extends through a first slot of the pair of slots into an ambient environment when the optical assembly is located in the first position, and
wherein a second portion of the occlusion plate extends through a second slot of the pair of slots into the ambient environment when the optical assembly is located in the second position.
