Abstract
The invention concerns a system for achieving an optical image of an object (), and/or for achieving optical collimation () of light from a light source (), comprising a concave mirror (), the surface normal of which forms an angle with the incident light in a beam. A negative lens () that co-operates with the concave mirror is arranged in the incident and/or exit beam paths such that an image with eliminated or reduced imaging aberrations is achieved in a focal plane (), and/or that the exit light from a light sources () is collimated ().
