Publication number: 20170199376Abstract: Described is a projection system for imaging an object into an image plane, including at least a first assembly group, a second assembly group and a third assembly group. Each of the assembly groups has at least one connected common optical axis (O1, O2, O3). A first assembly group comprises the object and a second assembly group comprises an optical component. At least two of the assembly groups are arranged tilted and/or staggered relative to each other. The optical axis (O3) of the image-side assembly group is inclined relative to the optical axis (OE) of the image (E) in the image plane.
