Abstract
The invention relates to a device for the examination of an eye using a Scheimpflug camera and a slit light projector for slit images of an eye. The Scheimpflug camera and the slit light projector are carried by a stand, whereby the slit light projector and the scheimpflug camera are arranged rotatably about a common axis coinciding essentially with the optic axis of the eye. Such a device is improved so that without interruptions and returns of the Scheimpflug camera to an initial position, the eye can be scanned multiply by means of the device. This is achieved by the slit light projector and the Scheimpflug camera being freely rotatable about the axis through more than 360°, and by a voltage supply to both the Scheimpflug camera and the slit light projector occurring through a transmitter.
