Abstract
An apparatus for imaging an object, particularly a three-dimensional object, (20) including a first and a second scanner (1, 2), each having a mirror (3, 4) in order to scan the object in two directions, especially orthogonal directions. The apparatus has a compact construction while still assuring optically perfect scanning in that the mirror (3) of the first scanner (1) is disposed a distance (7) from the axis of rotation of the first scanner, and the center or the pivot point of the second scanner (2) is disposed midway between the axis of rotation and the mirror (3) of the first scanner (1).
