Method for aligning two oppositely arranged optical subsystems (12u,12u',12u'',12o,12o',12o'') of an optical
system (11,11',11"), comprising the following steps: - Projection of alignment marks (9l, 9r, 9l', 9r') into an
image plane (5u) of the first optical subsystem (12u, 12u', 12u''), - Projection of the alignment marks (9l,9r,9l',9r') from the first
image plane (5u) onto a sensitive surface (14so) of the second optical subsystem (12o, 12o', 12o''), - Alignment of the optical subsystems (12u,12u',12u'',12o,12o',12o'') to each other, such that projections (9pl,9pr) of the alignment marks (9l,9r,9l',9r') are imaged at ideal positions (9il,9ir) in a
depth of field area of the sensitive surface (14so), characterized in that the alignment marks (9l, 9r) are applied directly to a first sensitive surface (14su) of a first camera
chip (2u), wherein the alignment marks (9l, 9r) have a collection of non-functional pixels.
