Abstract
Systems and methods for imaging a target are provided. A system includes a detector and a substantially bitelecentric lens assembly positioned between the detector and the target. A first optical assembly is configured to focus light received from the substantially bitelecentric lens assembly onto the detector. The substantially bitelecentric lens assembly and the first optical assembly are configured to produce a collimated light space between the substantially bitelecentric lens assembly and the first optical assembly. A second optical assembly is positioned within the collimated light space.
