Abstract
A reflex sight that incorporates an Infrared or low light camera using one, or any combination of, VIS-NIR, NIR, SWIR, LWIR and VLWIR wavelength ranges such that the IR image is projected by a Heads Up Display through a beamsplitter and onto the surface facing the observer of the sight's reflective optic giving the sight Infrared sighting capabilities is disclosed.
Claims4
A combination reflex sight and camera sighting device for viewing an object comprising:
- said reflex sight having a partially reflective optically collimating curved glass reflector that an observer can view said object through;
- wherein said partially reflective optically collimating curved glass reflector images a reticle at the focus on the surface facing the observer of said partially reflective optically collimating lens or curved glass reflector;
- said camera aligned with said reflex sight such that it aims on said object;
- and,
- said camera capturing an image of said object and using an image projector to project a visible light image of said object through a beam splitter and onto said surface facing the observer of said a partially reflective optically collimating curved glass reflector wherein said visible light image is reflected off said surface facing the observer of said a partially reflective optically collimating curved glass reflector and is viewed by the observer as an infinity image.
