Telescope with mutually connectable modules

1. A telescope comprising a lens module and an eyepiece module, the lens module and eyepiece module have connection interfaces for connecting and separating the modules from each other,

the lens module including a means for focusing and an optical system for varying an image magnification,

wherein the telescope further comprises means for adjusting the image magnification,

wherein at least one of the means for focusing and the means for adjusting the image magnification is disposed in a region of the connection interface of the lens module,

and wherein the means for focusing and the means for adjusting the image magnification are spatially located such that they are capable of being manipulated to adjust the image magnification and focus with the same hand simultaneously,

wherein a unit for reversing the image provided in the form of a prism system is integrated in the eyepiece module.

2. The telescope according to claim 1 , wherein the means for adjusting the image magnification is disposed on the lens module.

3. The telescope according to claim 1 , wherein the means for adjusting the image magnification is disposed on the lens module in a region of the connection interface of the lens module.

4. The telescope according to claim 1 , wherein the means for focusing and the means for adjusting the image magnification each comprise setting rings, wherein end faces of the setting rings lie in planes parallel with a separating/connecting plane of the lens module and eyepiece module.

5. The telescope according to claim 1 , wherein at least portions of the means for focusing and the means for adjusting the image magnification lie in a separating plane of the connection interfaces.

6. The telescope according to claim 1 , comprising a bayonet closure formed by two connection interfaces directly cooperating with one another.

7. The telescope according to claim 1 , comprising two connection interfaces cooperating directly with one another to form a plug and socket connection, which can be released by an axial sliding action, and a retaining element with at least one operating element cooperating with and connecting the connection interfaces to one another is pushed back into a releasing position for releasing purposes.

8. The telescope according to claim 1 , comprising two connection interfaces cooperating directly with one another including a surface profile that is not a flat shape, and one connection interface is in the shape of a male part in at least certain portions and the other interface is in the shape of a female part in at least certain portions.

9. The telescope according to claim 1 , comprising at least one switch arranged on at least one of the connection interfaces, which is operated when the connection interfaces are correctly connected.

10. The telescope according to claim 9 , comprising a plurality of switches, and when the connection interfaces are in a connected state a combination of switches of said plurality of switches is operated, and an electrical contact between the lens module and eyepiece module or a data connection between the lens module and eyepiece module is not established until switches of said plurality of switches are operated in a predefined combination.

11. The telescope according to claim 10 , wherein the switches comprise reed switch contacts.

12. The telescope according to claim 1 , wherein the eyepiece module comprises a distance measuring function, a photo function, a video function or a night vision function.

13. The telescope according to claim 1 , comprising an eyepiece optical system integrated in the eyepiece module.

14. The telescope according to claim 1 , wherein the lens module and the eyepiece module are directly connected to one another.
