Abstract: An intraoral three-dimensional scanning system with a monocular camera includes the monocular camera. A first mirror and a second mirror perpendicular to each other are provided between the monocular camera and an object to be measured. A bisector of an angle formed by the first mirror and the second mirror is perpendicular to a lens of the monocular camera, and reflecting surfaces of the first mirror and the second mirror face the lens. A third mirror is provided at a side of the first mirror away from the second mirror, and a fourth mirror is provided at a side of the mirror away from the first mirror. The first mirror, the second mirror, the third mirror and the fourth mirror are located in the same plane.

Abstract: A light-scanning microscope including a scan optics for generating a pupil plane conjugate to the pupil plane of the microscope objective, and a variably adjustable beam deflection unit in the conjugate pupil plane. An intermediate image lies between the microscope objective and the scan optics. The scan optics image a second intermediate image (Zb2) into the first intermediate image via the beam deflection unit, wherein the second intermediate image is spatially curved. The deflection unit is not arranged in a collimated section of the beam path, but is instead arranged in a convergent section. Then, in terms of the optical properties and quality thereof, the scan optics needs rather to correspond merely to an eyepiece instead of a conventional scanner objective.

Abstract: Beam deflection units in light-scanning microscopes are usually arranged in planes that are conjugate to the objective pupil. The scan optics, which is required for generating the conjugate pupil planes, is complicated and not very light efficient. The invention is intended to enable a higher image quality, simpler adjustment and a lower light loss microscope. The optical system comprises a concave mirror (36) for imaging a respective point of the first and second beam deflection units (30A, 30B) onto one another. The concave mirror (36), the first beam deflection unit (30A), and the second beam deflection unit (30B) are arranged such that the illumination beam path is reflected exactly once at the concave mirror (36). A first distortion caused by the concave mirror (36) and a second distortion of the imaging caused by the first and second beam deflection units (30A, 30B) at least partly compensate for one another.

Abstract: A beam combiner in a light scanning microscope for combining two illuminating beams that can be independently scanned. A first beam path (B1) guides a first illuminating beam (2) along a first optical axis (OA1) and a first optical device (L1) bundles the first beam (2) in an intermediate image plane. A second beam path (B2) guides a second illuminating beam (3) along a second optical axis (OA2) that intersects the first optical axis (OA1) at a point of intersection (Z) lying in or near the intermediate image plane, and a scanner (S2) for deflecting the second illuminating beam (3) and arranged before the point of intersection (Z) of the optical axes (OA1, OA2) in the propagation direction of the second illuminating beam (3).
