Systems and methods are described which provide a film through scope camera mount including a housing that includes a beam splitter, first and second mirrors, and a sensor. The camera mount system may receive an input optical signal from a first direction; split the input optical signal using the beam splitter such that a first portion of the input optical signal may be communicated out of the camera mount system in a second direction and a second portion of the input optical signal may be reflected lateral to the first direction; reflect the reflected signal vertically using the first mirror; reflect the vertically reflected signal in a second lateral direction using the second mirror; and receive the signal reflected by the second mirror in the sensor, which may comprise a visible light sensor and/or an infrared sensor.

A spectral measurement device capable of achieving a high level of diffraction efficiency by reducing the polarization sensitivity of the device. Many such embodiments are capable of achieving high diffraction efficiency by fixing the polarization of the incoming light to a fixed polarized state internal to the device, thereby allowing for the full spectrum of light to be captured and measured by the device.

An image offsetting apparatus for producing an offset image pathway and presenting the offset image pathway to an optic, including at least some of a mirror assembly wherein the mirror assembly comprises a first component mirror and a second component mirror, wherein the mirror assembly is attached or coupled so as to provide the offset image pathway that is offset from a direct image pathway between a target object and the optic.

An endoscope or other endoscopic instrument is provided with multiple image sensors incorporated into the distal tip, each capturing a portion of the image provided from an optical imaging system. The output from the multiple sensors is combined and manipulated into a single high resolution image which can then be displayed to the user. A virtual horizon rotation feature is also provided which can rotate a displayed image within a combined field of view including data from the multiple image sensors. Various light directing element designs are provided to direct image light to the multiple sensors.

A medical camera includes a camera head having a first a first color separation prism, a second color separation prism, a third color separation prism, and a fourth color separation prism. The four color separation prisms respectively separate light incident from an affected area into a blue, red and green color components, and an infrared (IR) component. A light emission surface of the first color separation prism is disposed opposite to a light emission surface of the second color separation prism. A light emission surface of the third color separation prism is disposed across an incident ray which is incident vertically to an object side incident surface of the first color separation prism.
