In some examples this is achieved by utilizing a statically positioned mirror arrangement positioned within a path of an imager's FOV and operative to (i) reflect light in a first wavelength range forming a first sub-FOV and (ii) pass therethrough light in a second wavelength range forming a second sub-FOV. Each of the first sub-FOV and the second sub-FOV can then be routed along a respective predetermined path to enable the imager to capture image data representative of the light sensed from each respective sub-FOV.
