Abstract
A positioning system for an optical microstructure (64) in a devise (6) operating under the action of a control means includes a flexible element (63) supporting the optical microstructure and connected to the device. The orientation of the flexible element with respect to the device can be varied under the action of control means in order to put the optical microstructure (64) into at least one determined position. The flexible element is immobilized with respect to the device in order to hold the optical microstructure (64) in the determined position when the control means no longer act.
