ELECTRO-OPTIC DEVICE Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: electro-optic instrument engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has the following units mounted in series onto optical axis: mirror-lens objective 1 made in form of protection glass 2, Mangene mirror 3, flat contrareflector 4 and field aberration lens compensator 5, image intensifier 6, eye-piece part 7 made in form of the first and the second components 9 and 10, eye-piece 11 and the first inclined dichroic mirror 12; all the units are mounted in series onto optical axis of two-component turning system 8. The device is placed in case 13; spring-loaded hinge 14 is connected rigidly with the case by rod 13. Sphere 16 of hinge 14 is connected kinematically with hinge heel 17 which is fixed rigidly to operator's shoulder. Rim 18 of eye-piece is connected rigidly with operator's helmet through mechanical linkage 19 to mate eye-piece with eye of the operator. Linkage 19 is connected with sync rotation mechanism either. EFFECT: improved precision; improved reliability of operation. 2 dwg
