Abstract
A radiation scan system (10) incorporates a scanning device (13) which transfers radiation between transmitting station (12) and receiving station (11) with simultaneous mapping of a point (14) in station (11) into a line (15) in station (12). Station (12) is in the form of a distant plane. Scanning device (13) has at least one mirror (16) mounted on a carrier (17) movable about an axis (18) which lies in the plane of the angular offset between the radiation beams at scan device (13) incoming from and outgoing to the stations (11,12). A refractive prism corrector (26) is located in the path of the radiation beam between scan device (13) and station (12) whereat line (15) exists, the vertex edge (27) of the prism corrector (26) being perpendicular to axis (18) and the parameter values of the prism corrector (26) are such that at least the line (15) in station ( 12) is straight.
