A long-range optical device has at least one optical channel which comprises a housing and an arrangement of optical elements. 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 comprises a stabilization system for the at least one movable optical element, which has an eddy current damper for damping movements of the at least one movable element. The stabilization system, in the event of a displacement of the at least one movable optical element, generates a restoring force proportional to the displacement velocity of the at least one movable optical element. The eddy current damper comprises a magnet system and an eddy current carrier interacting therewith. The restoring force generated by the eddy current damper is dependent on the amplitude of the displacement of the at least one movable optical element.

Image-stabilized long-range optical device

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

A telescope has a joint for universally bearing an optical assembly in relation to a housing. The joint is designed as an elastic spring joint.

Telescope

An optical viewing arrangement has an image recording function and each telescope tube thereof has a beam path through an objective and an ocular and has a sensor component assembly for outcoupling and converting a component light beam into digital data. A camera electronic component assembly () converts and compresses the digital image data of the sensor component assembly. The assembly () has a communications interface () for coacting with a communications interface () of an external remote-control unit () for digital data transmission. The interface () coacts with the interface () of the external optical viewing arrangement () for digital data transmission as well as a touch operator-controlled panel () for inputting and/or selecting operator-controlled functions, a microprocessor () for data processing incoming and outgoing data, a storage unit () for storing the digital data and a display ().

Optical viewing arrangement, remote-control unit and viewing system having an image recording function

An optical observation apparatus with at least one observation beam path and with means for laser range-finding, which have at least one transmitting device and at least one receiving device and are arranged outside the at least one observation beam path. The transmitting device and the receiving device are arranged in each case in separate housing parts of the optical observation apparatus and/or, if a folding bridge of the optical observation apparatus is present, along a mid-axis of the folding bridge. At least one diffractive optical element is provided for shaping at least the receiving beam for the at least one receiving device.

Optical observation apparatus

A method for producing a shaped body () made of glass or glass ceramics comprises the steps of: (a) placing at least two glass blanks () side by side on a shaped surface () of a temperature-resistant sagging mold (); (b) sagging the glass blanks () onto the shaped surface () by heating the sagging mold () and the glass blanks (); (c) attaching the sagged glass blanks () to each other in order to form the shaped body (); and (d) lifting the shaped body () from the sagging mold (). A shaped body () comprises at least two glass blanks () attached side by side and formed by sagging.
