A system described herein includes a first lens, a first image stabilization unit and a first image plane. When seen from the first lens in the direction of the first image plane, the order in which the elements are arranged along a first optical axis is as follows: first lens, first image stabilization unit and first image plane. The first image stabilization unit has at least one first inlet surface and at least one first outlet surface. The first inlet surface is oriented towards the first lens. The first outlet surface is oriented towards the first image plane. Furthermore, the first outlet surface is spaced apart from the first image plane in a range of 1 mm to 20 mm.

Optical system for imaging an object

A method for adjusting a position of a first image stabilization unit and/or a second image stabilization unit of an optical system is provided. The method comprises the steps of detecting a movement of the optical system by means of an angle-of-rotation sensor and determining a bending angle of a first hinge part relative to a second hinge part of a folding bridge of the optical system. Furthermore, a correction angle is determined based on the bending angle. The first image stabilization unit is rotated about the correction angle relative to a first housing and/or the second image stabilization unit is rotated about the correction angle relative to a second housing.

Optical system for imaging an object and method for the optical system

An optical system for imaging an object includes a objective, an image stabilizing unit, an image plane and a drive unit, which is arranged at the image stabilizing unit and provided for moving the image stabilizing unit. The optical system includes a control unit. A signal from the control unit is forwarded to a first high-pass filter. The control unit has an output line and the high-pass filter has a filter output line. Both the output line and the filter output line are arranged at an addition unit such that an actuation signal from the control unit and an output signal from the high-pass filter are added to produce an addition signal. The addition unit is arranged at the drive unit in such a way that the addition signal is used for actuating the drive unit and for moving the image stabilizing unit.

Optical system for imaging an object and method for operating said optical system

A long-range optical device has at least one optical channel, which has a housing and an arrangement of optical elements, wherein at least one of the optical elements is movable relative to the housing for image stabilization in the event of perturbing movements of the housing. The device further has a first passive stabilization system based on mass inertia for the at least one movable optical element, which, in the event of displacement of the at least one optical element relative to the housing, generates a first restoring force proportional to the displacement and a second restoring force proportional to the displacement velocity. The first stabilization system is designed for image stabilization in the event of perturbing movements in a first frequency range. The long-range optical device has at least one second stabilization system, which is coupled to the first stabilization system and is designed for image stabilization against perturbing movements in at least one second frequency range, wherein the first and the at least one second frequency ranges are at least partially different.

Long-range optical device having image stabilization

An optical system for imaging an object has at least a first objective, at least a first image stabilizing unit and at least a first eyepiece, wherein, as seen in the direction of the first eyepiece from the first objective, the first objective is arranged first along a first optical axis, then followed by the first image stabilizing unit and then followed by the first eyepiece. The first image stabilizing unit is rotatably mounted in cardan-joint fashion about a first hinge point, and the first hinge point is arranged between the first objective and the first eyepiece. The optical system is distinguished by virtue of the fact that the first image stabilizing unit comprises a first lens unit and at least a further optical element, wherein the first lens unit and the optical element are arranged such that the first lens unit is, together with the optical element, rotatably mounted in cardan-joint fashion about the first hinge point.

An optical observation device with at least one visual observation beam path includes an objective lens, an eyepiece, an Abbe K&#xf6;nig prism system, a Porro prism system or a Schmidt Pechan prism system, arranged in the at least one visual observation beam path between the objective lens and the eyepiece, a display device for displaying an additional image in the visual observation beam path to the observer, and a device for image superposition, which has a holographic optical element, and which uses the holographic optical element to superpose onto the image of the display device the image of a target object to be observed in an intermediate image plane of the visual observation beam path. The prism system is provided with the at least one holographic element of the at least one device for image superposition.
