Abstract

A movement mechanism (110) for an ophthalmic imaging apparatus (100) for imaging an eye (120) using light propagating along a first optical path and a second optical path, the movement mechanism arranged to move a first optical element into and out of the first optical path, and concurrently move a second optical element into and out of the second optical path, the movement mechanism arranged to rotate the optical elements between a first rotational position and a second rotational position such that the first and second optical element are: in the first and second optical path, respectively, when the optical elements are at the first rotational position and the imaging apparatus is operating in a first imaging mode; and out of the first and second optical path, respectively, when the optical elements are at the second rotational position and the imaging apparatus is operating in a second imaging mode.
