Abstract: A system and a method of increasing an area continuously captured by an image capturing device directed at said area are provided herein. The method may include the following steps: directing said image capturing device at said area in a specified image orientation; receiving momentary orientation measurements of said image capturing device; calculating in real-time, based on said measurements, a shift in orientation of said image capturing device relative to said specified image orientation; providing instructions for rotation in real-time of said image capturing device, to compensate for said shift; and rotating, using a rotation mechanism, said image capturing device based on said instructions, wherein the image capturing device is mounted on a non-stationary platform moving in a periodic pattern.

Abstract: Apparatus for wide angle examination of the eye fundus is provided. The apparatus includes an optical module providing a wide angle view image of the eye fundus and an image capturing unit connected to the optical module for capturing the wide angle view image. According to one aspect of the invention, the optical module includes a front lens complex for providing a primary large scale image of the fundus and an optical relay, connected to the front lens complex, for transforming the primary large scale image into a small scale image.
