Abstract

Imaging systems and methods are provided for taking high-magnification photographs confined to a small physical volume. In some embodiments the system is composed of at least one lens, one or more partially reflective elements, and a sensor. The partial reflectors reflect a portion of the light back and forth between them to allow a long path length for a portion of the light from the lens to the sensor which enables a high magnification.
