Method and apparatus for adjusting and controlling parameters of the illumination area of ophthalmological devices

Abstract

A method and device for adjusting and controlling parameters of the illumination area of ophthalmological devices including for example, brightness, color/color temperature, area shape, polarization state. The arrangement according to the invention includes an actuating unit that adjusts the desired lighting parameters, an illumination unit that generates illumination radiation having the desired illumination parameters, a decoupling element that decouples a part of the illumination radiation, a sensor element that analyzes the decoupled part of the illumination radiation and an evaluation unit that evaluates the sensor data and that determines the actual illumination parameters of the illumination radiation. According to an example embodiment of the invention, the sensor element is a spatially resolving image sensor. Embodiments of the invention are provided in particular for adjusting and controlling parameters of the illumination area of ophthalmological devices, but can also be applied to other technical fields, such as microscopy, for example.
