Modular optical recording system

A system structure for image recording, image stabilization, and image correction, comprising an optical observation device that is to be arranged in a region of a housing concept, the system structure forming a functional unit comprised of functional modules with an integrated observation system, wherein the functional modules are connected without play by a mechanical pretension in an operating state and are alignable relative to predeterminable recording positions, wherein an image recording unit is controllably supported in a central module of the functional unit and, in relation to a system-fixed lens mounting surface provided in a region of an external structural module of the functional unit, is at least axially adjustable such that, independent of the functional unit moved into an operating position, the image recording unit in a respective position can be aligned relative to a respective recording position, the system structure further comprising at least one adaptable interface element for mounting an imaging device, wherein the at least one adaptable interface element surrounds the observation system at least partially and supports the observation system in a guided fashion, wherein the at least one adaptable interface element comprises an inner geometry, wherein the inner geometry is embodied in accordance with external guiding and mounting surfaces of the observation system in a coaxial orientation at least in the same direction and centered in relation to the external guiding and mounting surfaces of the observation system, and wherein the observation system and the at least one adaptable interface element form a system with a full functional range of the observation device.

A system structure for image recording, image stabilization, and image correction, comprising:

• an optical observation device that is to be arranged in a region of a housing concept and that comprises an observation system, wherein the observation system comprises a mechanical base and an observation unit accommodating an image recording unit comprising an imaging surface, wherein the image recording unit is configured to move in a movement direction along an optical axis and is supported without play in the movement direction by a spring with mechanical pretension;
• at least one functional unit for adjusting a flange focal distance, wherein the at least one functional unit for adjusting a flange focal distance interacts with the observation system such that a continuous adjustability of the flange focal distance is achievable by an axial movement of the image recording unit along the optical axis;
• wherein the at least one functional unit for adjusting a flange focal distance comprises a worm gear configured to be subjected to a rotary adjusting movement, wherein the worm gear is fixed in relation to the mechanical base;
• wherein the at least one functional unit for adjusting a flange focal distance further comprises a moveable adjusting unit supported in the mechanical base, wherein the worm gear comprises a tooth geometry and wherein the adjusting unit comprises a counter tooth geometry interacting with the tooth geometry of the worm gear;
• wherein the observation unit comprises a pressure plate, wherein the pressure plate is pretensioned by a spring element with a pretension force via the adjusting unit against a stop of the mechanical base;
• wherein the adjusting unit is configured to transmit via a thread the rotary adjusting movement of the worm gear to the pressure plate of the observation unit to induce a translatory displacement of the imaging surface of the image recording unit along the optical axis;
• wherein a movement axis of the thread is arranged at a spatial parallel displacement in relation to the optical axis.
