An in vivo imaging device having an illumination system that creates a virtual source within a tissue region of a subject in a non-invasive manner. The illumination system transforms a maximum amount of illumination energy from a light source into a high contrast illumination pattern. The illumination pattern is projected onto the object plane in a manner that maximizes the depth to which clear images of sub-surface features can be obtained. The high intensity portion of the illumination pattern is directed onto the object plane outside the field of view of an image capturing device that detects the image. In this configuration, scattered light from within the tissue region interacts with the object being imaged. This illumination technique provides for a high contrast image of sub-surface phenomena such as vein structure, blood flow within veins, gland structure, etc.
