Claim:
Optical carrier and housing arrangement to accommodate a color-separation system as well as several image converters, in particular CCD receivers, the arrangement comprising: a metallic housing block with a radiation entrance opening in one side surface of the metallic housing block and at least two radiation exit openings in at least two other side surfaces of the metallic housing block that include attachment grooves inside the metallic housing block and in the beam path to fix a mirror/filter color-separation system in the beam path inside the metallic housing block while keeping the mirror/filter color-separation system accessible from an open cover surface of the metallic housing block; wiring-carrier modules configured to mount bare CCD chips as well as drive and evaluation electronics, wherein the bare CCD chips make contact face-down above an associated aperture in the wiring carrier, and the modules are adjusted in front of the radiation exit openings in the metallic housing block and fused into position; and electronic correction of the laterally reversed image produced by the mirror/filter color-separation system is provided by means of the drive and evaluation electronics.
