Abstract

An imaging system (1) is provided, comprising: an optical channel (2) configured to transfer light, a first sensor (10) configured to generate first image data by imaging an object (3) along a first optical path (11), and a second sensor (20) configured to generate second image data by imaging the object (3) along a second optical path (21). The first sensor (10) and the second sensor (20) are focus shifted. Further, the first optical path (11) and the second optical path (21) are guided at least partly through the optical channel (3).
