Abstract
Abstract A device for taking pictures with a monitor, a lens, a mirror that can be moved within the path of the rays of the monitor and a film camera located in one of the ray paths that can be selected by the mirror. A transparent holder for a sheet film is attached to the housing and located in the other path. A photo-electric converter, positioned on this holder, follows the path of the rays. By means of the control switch, the monitor can be controlled so that a light dot is generated on the screen of the monitor and reproduced on the sheet film.

In a device for taking pictures from a monitor having a monitor, a lens, a mirror that can be moved within the path of rays of the monitor to select between two different ray paths, and a film camera in one of said ray paths for taking a picture of said monitor, the improvement comprising a transparent holder for a sheet film provided in the other one of said ray paths, a photoelectric detector positioned in light receiving relationship to said holder and capable of generating an output signal corresponding to the received light intensity, a lens provided between said holder and said detector for focusing light received from the entire sheet film surface upon said detector, and a control device for controlling said monitor and said mirror so that said mirror is moved to select one of said ray paths and, when the ray path to said sheet film is selected, a light dot is generated on the screen of the monitor for projection onto said sheet film, said light dot scanning the entire sheet film surface.
