Abstract
An imaging system includes an imager having first and second light sensors, the first light sensor being configured to record light in a first wavelength range and the second light sensor being configured to record light in a second wavelength range, an alignment mechanism configured to be attached to the imager, an illumination source configured to generate a supercontinuum light beam, and a light shaping mechanism configured to transform the supercontinuum light beam into a linear strip of light. The alignment mechanism is configured to adjust a position of the light shaping mechanism so that a back scattered light, resulting from a scattering of the linear strip of light from a target, has an intensity above a given minimum for each of the first and second light sensors.
