Patent ID: 8164759

Claim:
An imaging microoptics, comprising: a first optical lens group comprising a front lens configured to transfer an object side beam bundle emanating from an object or aerial image positioned in an object plane into an image side beam bundle; and a second optical lens group configured to focus the image side beam bundle to image the object or the aerial image onto an image plane with a total magnification β′ of |β|>800; wherein: the imaging microoptics has a maximum longitudinal extension in a direction perpendicular to the object plane; the imaging microoptics has a first maximum lateral extension in a direction perpendicular to the maximum longitudinal extension; the imaging microoptics has a second maximum lateral extension perpendicular to both the maximum longitudinal extension and the first maximum lateral extension; the first maximum lateral extension is greater than or equal to the second maximum lateral extension; and a sum of the maximum longitudinal extension and the first maximum lateral extension is less than 250 mm.
