Abstract:
1. A method comprising: capturing a left stereoscopic tissue image and a right stereoscopic tissue image, sensing the captured left image by a first prismatic element directing substantially only light in the first visible color component wavelength range and light in the fluorescence component wavelength range to a first sensor, directing substantially only light in the second visible color component wavelength range to a second sensor, and directing substantially only light in the third visible color component wavelength range to a third sensor, wherein the sensed first visible color component wavelength range is separated and removed from the sensed fluorescence component wavelength range; and sensing the captured right image by a second prismatic element directing substantially only light in the first visible color component wavelength range and light in the fluorescence component wavelength range to a fourth sensor, directing substantially only light in the second visible color component wavelength range to a fifth sensor, and directing substantially only light in the third visible color component wavelength range to a sixth sensor, wherein the sensed first visible color component wavelength range is separated and removed from the sensed fluorescence component wavelength range.
