OPTICAL PANORAMIC SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC G02B23/02 F41G1/40 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: system has two identical head telescopic systems with a head reflector for each, fitted coaxially relative each other at a right angle to the vertical optical axis on which a porro prism is fitted together with two reflectors with possibility of turning. The head reflectors are fitted with possibility of turning. Behind the porro prism on the vertical optical axis there is a double-lens ocular telescopic system, two rhomb-shaped reflectors, ocular reflectors and a binocular part with identical lenses and oculars. Between the lenses of the ocular telescopic system there is a reflector in form of a pentaprism fitted with possibility of its movement from the optical axis behind the exit plane, on the optical axis, there is a second output lens of the ocular telescopic system, two rhomb-shaped reflectors, behind the exit planes of which there are identical lenses and oculars. On the vertical optical axis behind the second lens of the ocular telescopic system there is a rhomb-shaped reflector and a prism with a cover, and behind their exit planes there are identical digital electro-optical cameras fitted with possibility of taking images and displaying information on a monitor placed in the focal plane of the second lens of the ocular telescopic system when the ocular reflector is moved from the vertical optical axis.

EFFECT: more accurate evaluation of distance on depth of space and information content.
