  • Optics arrangement and method for optical sampling of an object plane comprising a multi-channel imaging system
    Patent number: 8922866
    Abstract: An optics arrangement includes a multi-channel imaging system for optical sampling of an object plane in visual fields, abutting or overlapping in the object plane, of a plurality of optical channels of the multi-channel imaging system, and a waveguide arranged between the object plane and the multi-channel imaging system so as to guide light in the waveguide laterally, the waveguide having a plurality of redirecting structures arranged on a side of the waveguide facing the object plane and/or a side of the waveguide facing the multi-channel imaging system, the redirecting structures being arranged in dead zones between the visual fields of the optical channels, and the redirecting structures being configured to deflect the guided light in the direction of the object plane such that the object plane is illuminated.
