Abstract
The present invention is a changeable apparatus for different total tracks and a corresponding method. The apparatus reflects a light from a light source at least twice toward predetermined directions. The apparatus comprises plural reflection elements, at least one of the plural reflection elements is a rotational reflection element, which has plural reflection surface sets, and each reflection surface set has at least one reflection surface. The rotational reflective element further comprises a pivot axis is for each rotational reflection element for circulating and changing of reflection surface sets and a fixing apparatus, which connects to a rotational reflection element for adjusting and fixing positions of the rotational reflection element.
Claims23
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one rotational reflection element comprising multiple reflection surface sets, wherein the reflection surface sets comprise at least one reflection surface, and wherein at least two of the reflection surface sets have different optical path lengths;
- and
- a fixing apparatus connecting to said rotational reflection element for adjusting and fixing a position of the rotational reflection element.
A method comprising:
- circulating at least one rotational reflection element having multiple reflection surface sets to reflect light along an optical path of a scanner, wherein at least two of the reflection surface sets have different optical path lengths;
- and
- fixing the at least one rotational reflection element such that at least one of the reflection surface sets is positioned along the optical path of the scanner.
A system comprising:
- means for reflecting light in an optical path of a scanner, wherein the means for reflecting includes multiple reflection surfaces configured to reflect light with different optical path lengths;
- and
- means for fixing said means for reflecting in a position with at least one of the reflection surfaces in the optical path of the scanner.
