1. An optical assembly, comprising:
a first optical element;
a second optical element,
wherein the first optical element and the second optical element are arranged to be movable in a guided manner; and
a common guide for first optical element and the second optical element which, when the first optical element and the second optical element are moved in a guided manner, provides a guide path that is common to the first optical element and the second optical element,
wherein the common guide comprises at least one guide element on which the first optical element and the second optical element are each mounted via bearing elements, and
wherein the first optical element and the second optical element are arranged one behind the other along an axis and are guided in a movable manner parallel to a plane perpendicular to the axis.
