Camera Formed With Contamination-Proof Space

A method of manufacturing an objective carrier assembly includes mounting a camera objective on a carrier. The camera objective includes an objective housing and at least one lens. The carrier includes at least one camera sensor. A contamination-proof space is formed between the carrier and the objective housing. Boundaries of the contamination-proof space are at least partially formed by portions of the carrier, the objective housing, and at least one optical component of the camera objective. The camera sensor is enclosed in the contamination-proof space.
