Provided custom parts for easy assembly and integration with standard optical components.
Included files for various orientations (e.g., tomography) and spectral filtering integration.

Main Results:

Characterized image mapping quality, parallax angles, pixel density, and field-of-view (FOV) at different object distances.
Validated the view splitter's performance on a methane/air flame for simultaneous high-speed imaging.
Demonstrated quantitative measurement capabilities in a practical experimental setup.

Conclusions:

The open-source view splitter design offers a low-cost alternative to expensive commercial systems.
This assembly democratizes access to advanced imaging capabilities, accelerating progress in diagnostics.
