  • Patent number: 6031619
    Abstract: Disclosed is an imaging spectrometer formed of a number of image forming optical systems, each of which has associated with it a spectral-selective filter, and at least one locally-resolving, spectrally-sensitive optical detector. Spectrally-different object images can be imaged on different local areas of the optical detector by means of the image forming optical systems. The image forming optical systems are embodied as a microlens array. A zoom lens, by means of which a variable local and spectral resolution can be set, is arranged between the optical detector and the microlens array.

  • Patent number: 5989283
    Abstract: An irradiation device, especially for the cosmetic, diagnostic and therapeutic application of light, having an incoherent light source and a reflector that surrounds the light source and has a slit-like opening defining the direction of the radiation. Arranged in the beam path of the light source is a spectral dispersion element. In the output beam path of the spectral dispersion element, a fiber-optic cross-sectional transformer is disposed in such a way that its circular end is located opposite the spectral dispersion element. The fiber-optic cross-sectional transformer and the spectral dispersion element are movable relative to each other.
