Patent ID: 8879899

Claim:
A method for submerging a stereoscopic beam splitter system in water, without a sealed housing, comprising the steps of: (a) mounting a stereoscopic camera apparatus with a horizontal underwater camera and a vertical underwater camera onto a plane that is perpendicular to the horizontal underwater camera; (b) affixing a submersible beam splitting mirror within a submersible mirror box; the mirror box having no front glass panel or port; (c) attaching the mirror box on the stereoscope camera apparatus at the intersecting plane of the horizontal underwater camera and vertical underwater camera; (d) Affixing submersible lenses to the underwater cameras; (e) Positioning the horizontal underwater camera and vertical underwater camera so that the axial plane of each camera crosses at the mirror box with the beam splitting mirror; and (f) Submerging the stereoscopic beam splitter system into water without a housing, for underwater picture taking.
