Abstract

The invention relates to variable vergency focussing systems which enable the focussing of a light beam on an object to be maintained despite movements of the object. The invention consists in using as variable-vergency element two astigmatic elements made of electro-optical material which are arranged at 90.degree. relative to one another and are subjected to voltages variable in dependence upon the vergency to be obtained.
