Abstract

The invention relates to a measuring instrument, particularly a hand-held instrument (10) for measuring distances, comprising at least one transmission branch (28) for a test signal and adjustable switching means (36) for deflecting the test signal. The switching means (36) reflect at least a portion of the test signal in a first switched position (42) while unblocking the transmission branch (28) for the measuring radiation in a second switched position (42′). According to the invention, the switching means (36) reflect the measuring radiation in a diffuse manner in the first switched position (42). Also disclosed is a method for producing such a measuring instrument.
