Abstract
A unity magnification catoptric image-forming system and an illumination system on the one hand, and an object- and image-surface supporting means on the other hand, are arranged for relative movement to retain the object and image surfaces in unity magnification conjugate planes of the catoptric system while effecting a scanning-type exposure of successive portions of the image surface to successively illuminated portions of the object. Fine motion mechanisms permit accurate preliminary adjustment of the object- and image-receiving surfaces relative to each other while under visual examination with the aid of the catoptric image-forming system.
