Abstract
A system for parallax correction includes a first lens having a first pin extending radially therefrom and a second lens positioned parallel to the first lens. A moving platform has a first slot for accepting the first pin therein. The first slot is angled relative to the lenses to correct for parallax between the first and second lenses. The system can include an actuator for extending and retracting the moving platform towards and away from an object to focus on the object.

A system for parallax correction, comprising:
- a first lens having a first pin extending radially therefrom;
- a second lens positioned parallel to the first lens;
- and
- a moving platform having a first slot for accepting the first pin therein wherein the first slot is angled with respect to the lenses to correct for parallax between the first and second lenses.

A method for correcting for parallax, the steps comprising:
- extending a moving platform towards an object to focus on the object, the moving platform having a first lens and second lens coupled thereto;
- and
- directing a first pin of a first lens within a first slot of the moving platform, wherein the first slot is angled to correct for parallax between the first and second lenses.
A system for parallax correction, comprising:
- a first lens having a first pin extending radially therefrom;
- a second lens positioned parallel to the first lens;
- and
- a moving platform having a first slot for accepting the first pin therein wherein the first slot is configured to simultaneously direct the first lens parallel to an optical axis of the first lens and laterally with respect to the second lens to correct for parallax between the first and second lenses.
