Abstract
The optical device comprises an emitter optic for projecting a light beam onto an object, and a receptor optic for projecting the reflected light onto a detector. The emitter optic and the receptor optic each comprise a dome disposed in such a manner that the light beam passes through the dome in a plane which is parallel to the plane surface of the dome. This allows a very compact design which is particularly suitable for reflection detectors of small dimensions.
