ABSTRACT:
A device for the detection of a continuous field of view or an arrangement of non-contiguous field of view sectors by means of an image resolving detector is provided such that the field of view sectors can be imaged quickly, one after the other, on the total area of the detector. To this end, a first imaging optical system ist provided, in the pupil of which a plurality of pupil areas is formed, each of which images a field of view sector on a common image plane area. A beam deflecting, microoptical beam deflecting element is arranged in the common image plane area. A second imaging optical system is arranged to image the microoptical beam deflecting element on the image resolving detector. The microoptical beam deflecting element is controllable such that it successively deflects beams from different pupil areas on the second imaging optical system.
