Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2005045503A1] The invention relates to the use of two-dimensional arrays comprising individually triggerable elements for creating diaphragms in beam paths of optical devices. At least one two-dimensional array comprising individually triggerable elements for creating diaphragms and/or filters is disposed in the optical imaging and/or illuminating beam path of the diaphragm array and/or filter array for optical devices, the shape, position, and/or optical properties of which can be modified, and is connected to a control unit for triggering the individual elements. The inventive technical solution allows diaphragms and/or filters to be modified very quickly regarding the geometry, optical properties, and/or position thereof by electronically triggering the same. Said modifications can also be done online as an optical fine-tuning step during the measurement and adjustment process. Furthermore, using said systems makes it possible to dispense with the expensive and time-consuming production of diaphragms having geometrical shapes.
