Patent ID: 7180660

Claim:
A stereo-examination system comprising: an objective arrangement having an optical axis and an object plane, wherein the objective arrangement is configured to receive an object-side beam bundle emanating from the object plane into a solid angle region and to convert the object-side beam bundle into an image-side beam bundle; a selection arrangement for selecting a first pair and a second pair of partial beam bundles from the image-side beam bundle, wherein the selection arrangement is configured to displace a beam cross-section of at least one partial beam bundle of the first pair and the second pair of partial beam bundles relative to a beam cross-section of the image-side beam bundle; an image transmission apparatus for generating representations of images provided by the first pair and the second pair of partial beam bundles; an imaging optical system conflaured to transmit the image-side beam bundle to the image transmission apparatus; and a controller configured to control the selection arrangement to displace the beam cross-section of the at least one partial beam bundle in a circumferential direction about the optical axis.
