Abstract

A method and device are provided for time-sequential recording of three-dimensional images each of which has at least one first and one second partial image. The device has a sensor () with pixels () subdivided into two mutually different pixel groups. An imaging optical unit has a switchable changeover device () that images the partial images of the three-dimensional image time-sequentially onto the sensor (). A control unit is connected to the sensor () and the changeover device () to control the reading of the sensor () and the switching states of the changeover device () so that the changeover device (), during the imaging of the partial images onto the sensor () assumes at least one switching state in which excerpts of different partial images are fed to the different pixel groups of the sensor ().
