A modular viewing device for observation through a wall of a protected space is provided. The device includes a distal module with an objective lens, a proximal module having a movable light guide, a connection unit having with a first coupling device, and a rotatable bearing. The first coupling device releasably couples, optically and mechanically, the proximal module to the connection unit so that an image captured by the objective lens is directed to and transmitted by the image guide. The rotatable bearing rotatably mounts the distal module on a side of the connection unit opposite to the proximal module so that the distal module is rotatable relative to the proximal module and the connection unit is mountable on the wall. The rotatable bearing has an articulation device configured to allow articulation of the rotatable bearing by an observer looking at the exit end.

Modular articulable impact-proof vision system

An optical device and a method for high-resolution image transfer are provided. The optical device includes an image-guiding element having a distal end and a proximal end, an inverting reflection prism having an entry face and an exit face, and a display element. The image-guiding element directs light beams into the inverting reflection prism, and after having passed therethrough they are directed to the display element, the image-guiding element being mounted for non-stop rotation over more than 360&#xb0;. The light entry face and the light exit face of the image-guiding element define an angle &#x3bc; to one another which is between 5&#xb0; and 175&#xb0;.
