Abstract:
1. An ophthalmological apparatus, comprising: a light source for generating light pulses, an application head with a light projector for the focussed projection of the light pulses for punctiform breakdown of eye tissue, beam deflecting means for deflecting the light pulses in a scanning direction, an optical transmission system for transmitting deflected light pulses to the light projector, an articulated arm including a number of arm elements, the optical transmission system arranged in an interior of the articulated arm, two of the arm elements of the articulated arm connected by an articulated module, with deflecting mirrors fitted in the articulated module in order to transmit deflected light pulsed from one arm element the other arm element, a rotation element for rotating a scanning plane defined by the deflected light pulses about an optical transmission axis, and a regulation module configured to control the rotation element so that the scanning plane defined by the deflected light pulses is rotated about the optical transmission axis until a desired alignment of the scanning direction has been reached to compensate image rotations caused by the articulated arm.
