  • Patent number: 9222753
    Abstract: The invention relates to a reticle with a visible pattern in a transparent substrate for a telescope. The pattern of the reticle is made of open grooves which are engraved in a surface of the transparent substrate, wherein the engraved open grooves define groove surfaces at an angle to said substrate surface in which the open grooves are engraved. The groove surfaces have a surface roughness which is large enough to scatter light directed onto the reticle perpendicular to the substrate surface when the reticle is illuminated in transmission mode, such that the pattern becomes visible relative to the remaining substrate surface by said light scattering at the groove surfaces in the transmission mode when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the substrate surface. The reticle is produced with direct laser engraving of the grooves.

  • Patent number: 8867129
    Abstract: A sighting telescope has two image planes situated between an objective and an ocular. A first such plane is situated closer to the objective and a second image plane is closer to the ocular. A reversal system is situated between the first and second image planes containing reversing lens elements. The reversing lens elements for a first and for a second adjustment distance can be adjusted by an adjustment means in a manner that the image in the second image plane shall be parallax-free between the target image and the target mark.

  • Patent number: 8804237
    Abstract: A sighting telescope included a beam splitter which is slanted relative to an optic axis and is configured between an objective and an ocular, further a projection element to generate onto the beam splitter a target mark visible from the ocular, the projection element being fitted with a light source, further two image planes between the objective and the ocular, of which a first image plane is nearer the objective and a second image plane is nearer the ocular, and a reversal system configured between the image planes, a reticle being situated in the first image plane and the target mark in the second image plane.
