Claims20
A viewing optic comprising:
- (a) a main tube;
- (b) an objective system coupled to a first end of the main tube that focuses a target image from an outward scene;
- (c) an ocular system coupled to the second end of the main tube, the main tube, objective system and ocular system being configured to define at least a first focal plane, with a reticle at the first focal plane;
- and (d) a base coupled to the main body and having a light module to direct light at the first focal plane reticle.
1 more element
A viewing optic comprising:
- a main body with an optical system for viewing an outward scene and a base that couples to a bottom portion of the main body, the base having a light module to direct light at a diffraction pattern on a reticle of the optical system in the main body.
A viewing optic comprising:
- a main body having an optical system comprised of an objective lens system that focuses an image from a target to a first focal plane (“FFP Target Image”), with a reticle located at the FFP;
- an erector lens system that inverts the FFP Target Image and focuses it to a second focal plane (“SFP Target Image”), an eyepiece lens system that collimates the SFP Target Image so that it can be observed by the human eye, and a knob for adjustment of the optical system, wherein the knob has a light module to illuminate the first focal plane reticle.
