Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an optical lens system comprising the steps of:providing a housing;providing a first lens element having a first optical axis and defining a first plane;providing a second lens element having a second optical axis and defining a second plane;aligning the first and second lens elements relative to each other such that the optical axes of the lens elements coincide;providing two elastically deformable mounting elements:securing at least the first lens element to the housing using the two mounting elements which, when viewed parallel to the first optical axis after mounting, are arranged separated from each other by a distance and wherein each mounting element individually allows tilting of the first lens element about tilting axes extending perpendicularly to the first optical axis, and wherein each mounting element individually is substantially undeformable in directions at right angles to the first optical axis; anddisplacing at least one of the mounting elements before being secured to the housing, in a direction transverse to the first optical axis to bring the planes of the lens elements into mutually parallel positions.
