Abstract
An image acquisition system and method may employ a non-orthogonal optical axis. The optical axis may be established in such a manner as to position a focal plane of an imaging device in a selected orientation relative to the object space. Such selective positioning and orientation of the focal plane allows the integration of two coordinate axes and enables dual-axis scanning of the object space. In some embodiments, the focal plane may extend throughout the entire depth dimension of the object space.
