| Summary: | The invention relates to a slit projector comprising a light source of several light diodes arranged side-by-side and essentially in a longitudinal direction of the slit.
The invention relates to a slit projector comprising a light source, a slit diaphragm arranged in front of the light source, and a lens system arranged in front of the slit diaphragm. Such a slit projector is used in particular in slit lamps. The front chamber of the eye can be illuminated with such slit projectors in order to be able, for example, to take pictures of the slit image of the front chamber of the eye. High performance light sources are needed for this. These are presently not available at acceptable prices. Therefore, the purpose exists to improve a slit projector in such a manner that same presents a slit of the needed brightness for viewing the eye and in particular for slit image photography. This is attained in such a manner that the light source consists of several light diodes arranged essentially in a longitudinal direction of the slit, namely in the plane of the projected slit. |
