Imaging Device, Imaging System, and Method for Operating an Imaging Device

An imaging device, in particular an endoscope device, comprising:

• a shaft that defines a longitudinal axis, and
• a stereoscopy unit for stereoscopic image generation,
• wherein the stereoscopy unit comprises a movement unit for a mechanically causing a change to a selection area within a field of view of the stereoscopy unit for image capture, and
• wherein the stereoscopy unit is configured to define the selection area for capturing images for use in stereoscopic image generation depending on a rotation parameter with respect to the longitudinal axis.

An imaging device, in particular an endoscope device, comprising:

• a shaft that defines a longitudinal axis, and
• a stereoscopy unit for stereoscopic image generation,
• wherein the stereoscopy unit comprises an aperture unit with at least one of a mechanically positionable aperture opening or a mechanically alignable reflection element, and
• wherein the stereoscopy unit is configured to define a position of the aperture opening or an alignment of the reflection elements for capturing images for use in stereoscopic image generation depending on a rotation parameter with respect to the longitudinal axis.
