Telescope with invariable display of digital data
View Patent ↗A telescope includes an objective lens to receive an optical signal from an object and an electronic signal generator that generates an electronic signal representing for example distance and direction of the object. Both signals travel through a magnification system to from images on a viewer side image plane. The image representing the electronic signal is further transmitted, before reaching the image plane, through a reflector prism, by which the image of the electronic signal is maintained invariable with respect to the variation of magnification factor of the telescope.
1. A telescope comprising:
a magnification lens group that receives and magnifies an optical signal from an object with a selected magnification factor to form a first image of the object on an image plane;
an electronic signal generator that generates and supplies an electronic signal carrying a digital information, the electronic signal emits through the magnification lens group; and
a reflector prism arranged between the image plane and the magnification lens group, whereby the electronic signal emitted from the electronic signal generator travels through the reflector prism to form a second image of the electronic signal on the image plane.
2. The telescope as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reflector prism comprises a total reflection surface and a film-coated surface opposite to each other in a travel path of the electronic signal.
3. The telescope as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the second image is first reflected by the total reflection surface and then reflected by the film-coated surface to focus on the image plane.
4. The telescope as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the total reflection surface is set an angle with respect to an optical axis of the electronic signal that induces total reflection of the electronic signal.
5. The telescope as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the film-coated surface is set at an angle with respect to an optical axis of the electronic signal to focus the second image at a desired position on the image plane.
