Abstract

An alignment adjusting device is provided for an optical focal plane assembly, wherein the optical focal plane assembly has a detector with a detector plane and is adapted to be mounted to an optics assembly having an optical focal plane. The alignment adjusting device is adapted for allowing an alignment of the detector plane representing an image area and the optical focal plane. The alignment adjusting device includes a detector support for receiving the detector; a plurality of members, wherein a first member of the plurality of the members is connected to the detector support and a second member is connected to a flange that is adapted to be connected to the optics assembly. The first member, the second member and the remaining number of the members are pairwise moveable connected to each other by a number of springs and/or supporting elements.
