Abstract
This invention teaches a binocular telescope wherein wedge prisms are positioned in the optical path of each telescope to control the amount of perceived parallax between the left and the right images. In one embodiment, a pair of thin wedge prisms are positioned in front of the objective lenses to optically manipulate the real convergence angle of an object viewed through the binocular telescope. In a second embodiment, wedge prisms are positioned after the eyepiece lenses to manipulate the apparent convergence angle of an object viewed through the binocular telescope. Depending on the position and the orientation of the wedge prisms, the invention produces benefits such as better depth perception, increased field of view, and the possibility to view close objects.
