TARGET FOR USE IN SURVEYING APPLICATIONS

The present inventive concept relates to a target (10) for use in surveying applications, said target (10) comprising: a base element (100) having a central axis (102), a reflector (110) for reflecting light beams being incident on said target (10), said reflector (110) including a plurality of retroreflectors (140) arranged around said central axis (102) to cover an angular area of substantially 360 degrees, wherein said reflector (110) has an outer circumference (112) and an inner circumference (114) as defined by the arrangement of the retroreflectors and wherein a retroreflector (140-1) has a first side (142) located at the outer circumference (112) and a second side (144) located at the inner circumference (114); and a plurality of light emitting elements providing a plurality of apparent light sources (160) arranged around said central axis (102), wherein an apparent light source (162) is positioned within the inner circumference (114) of the reflector (110) for emitting light in a direction away from the central axis (102) of the base element (100).
