Abstract

The invention relates to a line camera for imaging object strips on photosensitive detector lines, having an objective producing a line image of an object strip, having a ray deflecting system situated at the site of the line image by which the line image is divided into adjacent image sections, in such a manner that paths of the rays pertaining to adjacent image sections are deflected into respective different directions in space. One optical relay system respectively is optically arranged behind each image section for the imaging of the respective image section on its own respective detector line. The total number of optical relay systems is divided into at least two groups, each group being assigned to a different direction in space. The optical relay systems of each individual group image the image sections assigned to them in a respective joint focal plane on their respective own detector lines, which, in the respective focal plane, are arranged above one another in a line directed parallel with respect to the line image. One aperture is arranged respectively between each detector line and the optical relay system assigned to it.
