Abstract
The tubular casing (3) of the working head (1) exhibits two windows, upstream (4) and downstream (5), opposite each one of which there is mounted a deflecting mirror, a partially reflecting mirror (12) and a totally reflecting mirror (14) respectively. A first optical focusing device (8) is mounted in front of the upstream mirror, and a second optical focusing device (13) is mounted between the downstream mirror and the image focus (11) of the upstream optical device.
