1. An optical module for an image capture system, the optical module comprising:
a first integrated sensor-lens assembly (ISLA) defining a first optical axis and first mounting surfaces, the first ISLA oriented in a first direction and including:
a first lens holder;
a first lens barrel located within the first lens holder and housing a first optical group; and
a first printed circuit board (PCB) subassembly supported by the first lens holder;
a second ISLA defining a second optical axis coincident with the first optical axis and second mounting surfaces, wherein the first ISLA and the second ISLA are directly connected, the second ISLA oriented in a second direction generally opposite to the first direction and including:
a second lens holder;
a second lens barrel located within the second lens holder and housing a second optical group; and
a second PCB subassembly supported by the second lens holder; and
an adhesive located between the first mounting surfaces and the second mounting surfaces, thereby directly connecting the first ISLA and the second ISLA.
