    摘要: A stereoscopic endoscope includes at least one illumination source disposed at a distal end portion in a position to project light to illuminate an object. The endoscope also includes an image capture assembly mounted at the distal end portion. The assembly includes first and second lens trains extending proximally from the distal end portion. The assembly includes an image sensor having a surface with a right side image area and a left side image area. The sensor surface lies in a plane substantially parallel to a plane in which the first and second lens trains lie. The assembly includes at least one optical element disposed to intercept light passing through the first and second lens trains. The optical element is configured to direct light exiting the first lens train to the right side image area and to direct light exiting the second lens trains to the left side image area.
