Abstract: Apparatus for capturing a wide-color-gamut image includes a broadband electronic image sensor; optics gathering light from a scene and focusing an image formed by the gathered light along a light path onto the electronic image sensor; a filter interposed in the light path, constructed and arranged so as to allow individual wavelengths of the wide-gamut-color to pass through it in narrow bands of wavelengths having bandwidths narrower than a few tens of nanometers at each point in time; and a processor connected to the image sensor to capture a sequence of images synchronous with each narrow-band wavelength passed by the filter at each point in time, the processor combining the sequence of images into the wide-gamut-color image.
