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