Method for generating a stereoscopic image and an arrangement for stereoscopically viewing an object
Patent number: 5835264Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and arrangement for generating stereoscopic images of an object. The method includes the steps of illuminating an object with an illuminating beam; masking the illuminating beam to generate a first component beam to illuminate the object at a first angle and provide a first image of the object to a first viewing eye; again masking the illuminating beam to generate a second component beam to illuminate the object at a second angle and to provide a second image of the object to a second viewing eye; and, alternately repeating the last two steps at a frequency above the flicker frequency of the human eye. In the arrangement of the invention, a beam generating device alternately generates first and second illuminating beam components which illuminate the object via illuminating optics at respectively different angles to produce respective images of the object.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 1996Date of Patent: November 10, 1998Assignee: Carl Zeiss Jena GmbHInventors: Hans Tandler, Gudrun Nordt, Reed Werlich, Karl-Heinz Geier, Johannes Knoblich, Gunter Schoppe
