Abstract
A binocular image capture device includes a plurality of stacked circuit boards, a front-facing dual image sensor mounted to a first circuit board of the plurality of stacked circuit boards, and signal conditioning electronics mounted to one or more of the plurality of stacked circuit boards and coupled to receive electrical signals generated by the dual image sensor. The dual image sensor is enclosed in a hermetic housing. In some examples, the hermetic housing may be formed by the first circuit board, a transition ring secured to the first circuit board, and an optics mount secured to the transition ring. In some examples, the hermetic housing may be formed using materials having matching coefficients of thermal expansion. In some examples, the binocular image capture device is enclosed by a shaft, the plurality of stacked circuit boards being stacked along a length of the shaft.
