ABSTRACT:
The automatic tilt angle compensator of the present invention includes a liquid sealing container with a transparent liquid sealed therein to form a free liquid surface, a light projecting system for projecting light beam to the free liquid surface at a given angle so that it is reflected by the free liquid surface, an optical axis dividing means for dividing an optical axis of the light projecting system, a first light entry means for allowing the light beam from the light projecting system to pass into the sealing container, a second light entry means for allowing the light beams divided by the dividing means into the sealing container, a first light irradiating means for irradiating the light beam reflected by the free liquid surface from the sealing container, and a second light irradiating means arranged face-to-face to the first light irradiating means, whereby a light beam entering the liquid sealing container from the first light entry means is irradiated by the first light irradiating means, and when the system is turned down by 90.degree., the light beam divided by the dividing means enters the liquid sealing container from the second entry means and is reflected by the free liquid surface rotated by 90.degree. and is irradiated by the second irradiating means.
