Abstract: The invention relates to alignment marks for a process for aligning two objects relative to each other by means of an image recognition system wherein the lines are optoelectronically scanned and the obtained brightness values are integrated line-by-line. The advantages of the alignment marks according to the invention reside in that position inaccuracies due to the mutual optical influence of the alignment marks in the optoelectronic evaluation are avoided and furthermore in a high evaluation speed.

Abstract: For the automatic focussing of an optical instrument on an object, a measng diaphragm is inserted into the illuminating radiation path, which diaphragm is to be projected onto the object plane and focus plane during focussing. This intermediate image of the measuring diaphragm is projected via a detector diaphragm which is complementary to the measuring diaphragm, onto a detector, the output signal of which is a scale for the quality of the focussing and which acts on a focussing drive in the sense of optimum focussing via a control device.
