Abstract:
A microsystem module for a microoptical system comprising an optically transparent body having(a) at least one first support area and at least one second support area arranged in respective outwardly projecting portions of said body, each of said support areas having a positively locking element for engaging a corresponding locking element on an adjacent component of the microoptical system, each positively locking element of said at least one first support area extending in a perpendicular longitudinal direction to each positively locking element of said at least one second support area to provide a positive locking function; and (b) at least one functional area comprising a prism formed in a surface of said body interior of said first and second support areas and arranged with very narrow tolerances and dimensional accuracy relative to the support areas to form an optically effective boundary area.
