Abstract
An optical arrangement and a process for transmitting and converting X-ray images generated on a two-dimensional primary image array (21a) with light emission within the visible spectrum contains a plurality of optical systems (17) for reduced imaging of a sectional image (19) corresponding to an individual segment (19) of the primary image (20). The imaging is effected through an optical image guide (22). At least two image guides (22) are joined to combine sectional images into first images (19b). Each first image then contains at least two segments (19, 19a) of the primary image (20). The image guides (22) on the output side are connected to the input of a converter (28) by which the light signals are converted into processable electrical signals.
