Abstract:
1. An optical scanning system for medical applications, including ophthalmology, comprising: at least one controllable reflector which has an actuator and which is arranged in a first imaging beam path for deflecting at least one therapy beam and/or diagnosis beam generated by a first radiation source in at least one direction over a work field in a scanning manner; a second imaging beam path for a fixation beam which is generated by a second radiation source and which is imaged on the work field in a spatially fixed manner with respect to the optical axis; and a central control unit; wherein the moving reflector is used to unify the two imaging beam paths for the fixation beam and the therapy beam and/or diagnosis beam, said moving reflector having dichroic characteristics so that the reflector is transmissive for the fixation beam and reflective for the therapy beam and/or diagnosis beam; and wherein said second radiation source which serves to generate the fixation beam is controlled so as to be synchronized to the position of the moving reflector.
