Abstract
An optical imaging device may include a support structure and imaging channels, where each imaging channel may include a discrete optical imaging pathway. The optical imaging device may also include image capturing devices respectively associated with one of the imaging channels to capture a first set of digital photograph images of respective portions of the eye. In some embodiments, the first set of digital photograph images may overlap each other and may be stitched together such that the first set of digital photograph images form a first composite image with a first set of scallops. Additionally, the optical imaging device may be rotated to capture a second set of digital photograph images that overlap each other and may be stitched together such that the second set of digital photograph images form a second composite image with a second set of scallops positioned differently than the first set of scallops.
