Abstract
A method for installing at least one optical element in an interior space of a housing includes: clamping a sensor assembly in an interior of the housing in at least one radial clamping direction extending perpendicularly to a centering axis using at least one elastic body, wherein the sensor assembly comprises at least one optical elements, wherein each respective elastic body is inserted into a recess, which extends parallel to the centering axis and is open towards the interior space, and is clamped there such that each of the at least one elastic bodies exerts a clamping force acting in the respective radial clamping direction on an outer edge of each of the at least one optical elements of the assembly adjacent thereto in the interior space of the housing and to be clamped in the housing.
