Patent ID: 8922866

Claim:
An optics arrangement comprising: a multi-channel imaging system for optical sampling of an object plane comprising visual fields, abutting or overlapping in the object plane, of a plurality of optical channels of the multi-channel imaging system, wherein the multi-channel imaging system is configured to optically image the object plane onto an image plane via the plurality of optical channels; and a waveguide arranged between the object plane and the multi-channel imaging system for guiding light laterally in the waveguide, wherein the waveguide comprises a plurality of redirecting structures arranged on a side of the waveguide facing the object plane and/or on a side of the waveguide facing the multi-channel imaging system, wherein the redirecting structures are arranged in dead zones between the visual fields of the optical channels, and wherein the redirecting structures are configured to deflect the guided light in the direction of the object plane such that the object plane is illuminated.
