Abstract

Stereoscopic device including an image directing assembly (1626), an image differentiator and an image detector, the image directing assembly having a first light inlet (1646) for receiving a first image and a second light inlet (1646) for receiving a second image, the first light inlet being spaced apart from the second light inlet, the image differentiator differentiating between the first image and the second image, wherein the image directing assembly directs the first image to the image detector via a common path, and wherein the image directing assembly directs the second image to the image detector via the common path.
