Abstract

A method for medical imaging, the method including receiving light from a scene at a camera assembly that comprises at least one reflecting optical element and an imaging sensor assembly; reflecting light received by the camera assembly from the scene toward the imaging sensor assembly via the at least one reflecting optical element, wherein reflecting the light causes the scene to be at least one of inverted and reverted at the imaging sensor assembly; focusing the reflected light onto the imaging sensor assembly with at least one focusing optical element; transmitting image data generated from the focused light from the imaging sensor assembly to a camera controller; and generating by the camera controller a non-inverted and non-reverted image of the scene from the data generated by the imaging sensor assembly.
