81. A method of adjustment for correct alignment between a refracting optical part rotationally formed about an optical axis for exerting a lens action on light and a reflecting part rotationally formed about said optical axis for reflecting said light and having a planar high-reflectivity surface provided around said optical axis, said method comprising the steps of:
-
applying rectilinearly propagating light to said reflecting part and adjusting the attitude of said reflecting part so that the outgoing path of said rectilinearly propagating light for incidence to said high-reflectivity surface of said reflecting part and the incoming path of said rectilinearly propagating light reflected by said high-reflectivity surface come into alignment with each other; and
applying the rectilinearly propagating light on said outgoing path to said high-reflectivity surface of said reflecting part through said refracting optical part, emitting from said refracting optical part the rectilinearly propagating light on said incoming path reflected by said high-reflectivity surface and adjusting the attitude of said refracting optical part to maximize the power of said rectilinearly propagating light emitted from said refracting optical part.

82. A method of adjustment for correct alignment between:
- an illumination light source part for emitting illumination light;
an image information providing part for providing image information to said illumination light and emitting an optical image signal;
a refracting optical part rotationally formed about an optical axis, for exerting a lens action on said optical image signal;
path-bending reflector for reflecting said optical image signal from said refracting optical signal;
