  • Patent number: 11892468
    Abstract: A method of using an imaging system including a focal plane with one or more detectors, a lens optically coupled to the focal plane, a transparent plate optically coupled to the focal plane and lens, and an actuator coupled to the transparent plate, includes receiving, at a first area of the focal plane through the lens, light from an object at a first time. The imaging system is located in a first position relative to the object at the first time. The method also includes causing the actuator to move the transparent plate in response to movement of the imaging system relative to the object and receiving, at the first area of the focal plane through the lens, light from the object at a second time. The imaging system is located in a second position relative to the object at the second time.

  • Patent number: 11402401
    Abstract: An imaging system includes a body, a stage coupled to the body, and a focal plane array including one or more detectors and coupled to the stage. The imaging system also includes a lens assembly including an objective lens and a rear lens group. The lens assembly is coupled to the body and optically coupled to the focal plane. The imaging system further includes a transparent plate coupled to the body and optically coupled to the objective lens and the focal plane array. The transparent plate is disposed between the objective lens and the focal plane array. Additionally, the imaging system includes an actuator coupled to the transparent plate and configured to rotate the transparent plate relative to an optical axis of the imaging system.
