  • Apparatus for optically capturing a screen
    Patent number: 11086029
    Abstract: Embodiments provide image capturing apparatuses having a screen, a plurality of mirrors and a plurality of cameras. The plurality of mirrors and the plurality of cameras is arranged such that the plurality of cameras capture a portion of the screen via a respective one of the plurality of mirrors, wherein the plurality of cameras is arranged obliquely with respect to the screen.
    Type: Grant

  • Apparatus and method for detecting an image
    Patent number: 7875855
    Abstract: In order to detect an image generated by an image source, a mirror arrangement is arranged between the image source and a detector. The mirror arrangement includes two spaced-apart deflection mirrors, which are parallel to each other or form an acute angle of less than 90° between them. In particular when the image source is a scintillator layer, shielding of X-rays from the detector with simultaneous compact dimensioning of the apparatus is achieved in this manner.
