Abstract
An accessory that is attachable to a device comprises an image sensor and a beam splitter having a first surface and a second surface. The beam splitter is configured to impinge light upon the first surface, and split the light impinging upon the first surface into at least a first beam, a second beam, and a third beam. The first beam travels from a first opening of the device to a second opening of the device along an optical path when the accessory is attached to the device, the second beam travels from the first surface to the image sensor, and the third beam travels from the second surface to the image sensor or a beam dump.
