Abstract

A light distributor for use in an X-ray diagnostics installation wherein a light image corresponding to an X-ray image is generated by an X-ray image intensifier, and the light image is to be recorded using a number of different image recorders as a housing with input optics facing toward the X-ray image intensifier for generating a parallel light beam path, and has at least two movable mirror surfaces secured flat on a carriage. The carriage and mirror surfaces are arangement obliquely in a plane which is parallel to the beam path, and the carriage is displaceable along guides within this plane so that one of the mirror surfaces can be laterally moved into the beam path to deflect the light from the image intensifier onto a desired image recorder. At least one of the mirror surfaces is partially reflecting.

Dependent claims

In an x-ray diagnostics installation having an x-ray image intensifier with an associated optics system which generates a first beam path for light forming an output image of said x-ray image intensifier, and a plurality of pick-up components for said light, the improvement of a light distributor comprising:

a housing adapted for coupling to said optics system into which said light which comprises said first beam path is admitted;
means in said housing on which said light from said x-ray image intensifier is incident for generating a second beam path of the output image of the x-ray image intensifier;
a carriage;
means for displacing said carriage in a plane disposed obliquely relative to said second beam path so that said carriage does not intersect said second beam path;
and
first and second mirror surfaces mounted flat on said carriage so that one of said mirror surfaces is moveable into said second beam path upon displacement of said carriage, wherein one of said mirror surfaces is being partially reflecting.
