## Abstract

In an apparatus for assessing an object arranged on a movable carrier which includes an imaging arrangement for recording the object, the imaging arrangement is movable synchronously with the carrier.

## Claims

### Claim 1

Apparatus for assessing a moving object (1) disposed on a movable mounting member (2) comprising: an imaging arrangement with a camera (3) for recording the object (1), the camera (3) being mounted on the movable mounting member (2) so as to be position-adjustable together with the movable mounting member (2), the imaging arrangement including a beam path (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) from the object (1) to the camera (3) with an uneven number of stationary minors but at least three mirrors (4, 5a, 5b) arranged in the beam path (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) between the object (1) and the camera (3) outside the movable mounting member (2).

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the beam path (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) includes at least one pentaprism (5).
