Correction optics (10) are disposed in an optical path directly behind an entry slit (1) of a spectrometer (100) and configured to warp a straight object line shape (A1) of the entry slit (1) into a curved object line shape (B1) from a point of view of the projection optics (2,3,4). The warping of the correction optics (10) is configured such that a curvature (R1) of the curved object line shape (B1) counteracts an otherwise distorting curvature (R5) in a projection (A5) of the straight object line shape (A1) by the projection optics (2,3,4) without the correction optics (10). As a result, the spectrally resolved image (B5) comprises a plurality of parallel straight projected line shapes formed by spectrally resolved projections of the straight object line shape (A1).
