Abstract

An optical device and a method for high-resolution image transfer are provided. The optical device includes an image-guiding element having a distal end and a proximal end, an inverting reflection prism having an entry face and an exit face, and a display element. The image-guiding element directs light beams into the inverting reflection prism, and after having passed therethrough they are directed to the display element, the image-guiding element being mounted for non-stop rotation over more than 360°. The light entry face and the light exit face of the image-guiding element define an angle μ to one another which is between 5° and 175°.
