    Abstract: A stereoscopic image capture device includes a first image sensor, a second image sensor, a first frame timer, and a second frame timer. The first and second frame timers are different frame timers. The first image sensor includes a first plurality of rows of pixels. The second image sensor includes a second plurality of rows of pixels. The first and second image sensors can be separate devices or different areas of a sensor region in an integrated circuit. The first frame timer is coupled to the first image sensor to provide image capture timing signals to the first image sensor. The second frame timer coupled to the second image sensor to provide image capture timing signals to the second image sensor.

    Abstract: A stereoscopic endoscope may comprise a first image capture sensor comprising a first surface and a second image capture sensor comprising a second surface. The endoscope also may comprise a first objective lens assembly to direct first light to the first surface. The first light extends along a first distal optical axis through the first objective lens assembly and extends along a first proximal optical axis after exiting. The first proximal optical axis intersects the first surface. The endoscope may also comprise a second objective lens assembly to direct second light to the second surface. The second light extends along a second distal optical axis through the second objective lens assembly and extends along a second proximal optical axis after exiting. The second proximal optical axis intersects the second surface. The first distal optical axis may be non-parallel to the second distal optical axis.
