The modern schiefspiegler is an off-axis, reflecting optical system that consists of a pair of prolate spheroids coupled by superimposing two of their focal points. It has some unusual properties. The angle between the two spheroid axes may be set arbitrarily large ab initio. It has a pseudo axis; a special chief ray which acts as an axis of symmetry for all other chief rays. With the pseudo axis, the modern schiefspiegler exhibits some of the properties of a rotational optical system. It also possesses bilateral symmetry with respect to a plane of symmetry on which lie the pseudo axis and the two spheroid axes. In particular, in the plane of symmetry all chief rays are symmetric with respect to the pseudo axis while chief rays skew to the plane of symmetry are symmetric with respect to that plane of symmetry. It is shown that it is possible to define angular magnification and angular distortion on the plane of symmetry in a way analogous to that of a axially symmetric optical system.
