Abstract

A focusing device (1) for a light receiving device (3) having at least one lens device (5) and a light sensor (7) exposed to the incident light is proposed, which is distinguished by the fact that the lens device (5) is designed to be stationary and that an actuation device (9), which displaces the light sensor (7) parallel to itself, and a position sensor (27), which detects the current position of the light sensor (7), are provided.
