Abstract:
An imaging system and method for imaging an object, where an objective lens directs light to the object, a coupling lens receives light reflected from a surface of the object and transmitted through the objective lens, and focuses the reflected light as an image of the object, and an annular light emitter arranged concentrically with an optical axis of the objective lens and the coupling lens emits to the objective lens the light directed to the object.
