Abstract
A guide component for joint guidance of at least two optical elements that are movable in relation to one another is described. The guide component comprises at least two separate planar sliding guide surfaces arranged with a fixed spatial alignment relative to one another, a first sliding guide surface comprising a first surface normal and being configured to rest against and slidingly guide a first optical element in relation to a second optical element, and a second sliding guide surface comprising a second surface normal and being configured to rest against and slidingly guide the second optical element in relation to the first optical element, the first surface normal and the second surface normal running parallel to one another in opposite directions.
