Abstract
A camera and a method for taking stereophotographic pictures. The camera comprises a camera housing for carrying film, a film placement plate in the camera housing for positioning against a portion of the film to be exposed to ensure precise planar placement of the portion of film while exposed, a lens which is fixed to the camera housing to obtain optical and geometric stability, and at least one reflecting surface on the camera extending essentially parallel to and along a periphery of a linear imaging path from the lens and an object to be photographed, wherein the lens receives a first portion of the optical radiation which emanates directly from the object and produces an actual image of the object on the film and the at least one reflecting surface reflects a second portion of the optical radiation emanating from the object toward the lens and creates a virtual image of the object on the film, the virtual image having an viewing angle of the object different than the actual image.
