  • Publication number: 20180252498
    Abstract: The invention relates to an adjusting element for a telescopic sight, with a base, a rotary actuating element, a display element that has along its circumference at least one scale visible from the outside with multiple scale markings that are read off in reference to a reference marking, wherein the display element acts to display the current setting of the rotary actuating element. The individual scale markings represent values of a main parameter, whereby at least two scale levels are formed to display a first ancillary parameter, which are placed axially spaced apart from each other on the display element, whereby the scale markings of the individual scale levels that represent the same value of the main parameter are displaced by a difference angle to each other and a first ancillary parameter can be set using the individual scale levels.

  • Patent number: 9883087
    Abstract: The invention relates to an objective for an image recording device for reproducing an image, which is created by a far-optical device. A housing, which is detachably connectable to an eyepiece of the far-optical device, has a greater inner diameter than the exterior diameter of an eyepiece housing. Both an exit pupil of the far-optical device and an entrance pupil of the objective are situated inside the housing. The objective has at least one lens, the optical axis of which is arranged to be parallel to the optical axis of the eyepiece of the far-optical device and to the middle axis of the eyepiece housing.
