Patent ID: 8177365

Claim:
An opthalmological apparatus comprising: a base station having a light source for generating light pulses, and an application head which can be mounted on an eye having a light projector configured to project the light pulses in a focused way for punctiform breakdown of eye tissue, and having movement drivers for moving the light projector in a feed direction and in a first scanning direction; beam deflecting means, arranged in the base station for deflecting the light pulses in a second scanning direction; an optical transmission system for transmitting deflected light pulses from the base station to the application head, and for superimposing the light pulses deflected in the second scanning direction onto the movement of the light projector in the first scanning direction; and an articulated arm which is fitted on the base station and which is fastened to the application head with an end diverted from the base station, the articulated arm comprising a number of arm elements, in each case, two of the arm elements being connected by means of an articulated module, and deflecting mirrors being fitted in the articulated module in order to transmit deflected light pulses from one arm element to the other arm element.
