Abstract:
1. Stereoscopic opthalmoscope for producing a stereoscopic image of an eye fundus, the stereoscopic opthalmoscope comprising: a light source, for emitting a light beam; a light deflector, optically coupled with said light source, for deflecting said light beam into an eye, thereby illuminating the eye fundus of said eye; a relay lens, optically coupled with said eye, for receiving light beams reflected from said eye fundus, thereby producing a relayed three-dimensional image of said fundus; and a stereoscopic imaging apparatus, optically coupled with said relay lens, for stereoscopically acquiring said relayed three-dimensional image, said stereoscopic imaging apparatus including a dual aperture element, a pixel array image detector and a lenticular lens layer, optically coupled with said pixel array image detector, said lenticular lens layer directing a right view scene of said relayed three-dimensional image toward a first plurality of pixels of said pixel array image detector and a left view scene of said relayed three-dimensional image toward a second plurality of pixels of said pixel array image detector.
