Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022018108A1] The present invention relates to a solution for adjusting and controlling parameters of the illumination area of ophthalmological devices. Brightness, color/color temperature, area shape, polarization state or the like can be considered as parameters, for example. The arrangement according to the invention consists of an actuating unit for adjusting the desired lighting parameters, an illumination unit for generating illumination radiation having the desired illumination parameters, a decoupling element for decoupling a part of the illumination radiation, a sensor element for analyzing the decoupled part of the illumination radiation and an evaluation unit for evaluating the sensor data and for determining the actual illumination parameters of the illumination radiation. According to the invention, the sensor element is a spatially resolving image sensor. The proposed solution is provided in particular for adjusting and controlling parameters of the illumination area of ophthalmological devices, but can also be applied to other technical fields, such as microscopy, for example.
