Abstract: A hand held stereoscopic system in which the focusing to the eye and image detector of images of near and distant objects are adjusted simultaneously by moving the objective lens system. Fine adjustments of the focus of images provided to the image detector are also performed automatically.

Abstract: A hand held stereoscopic system in which the focusing to the eye and CMOS photo array of near and distant objects is controlled simultaneously by moving the imaging system.

Abstract: An improved stereoscopic imaging system that includes a pair of image capturing components and a pair of eyepieces, wherein the distance between the image capturing components may be varied substantially independently of the distance between the eyepieces. In a preferred embodiment, the stereoscopic imaging system comprises a housing having two telescope chambers, each telescope chamber containing an objective lens and an image capturing component. The telescope chambers are preferably attached to an adjustment assembly that allows a user to adjust the distance between the chambers and thus the distance between the imaging capturing components contained therein to enhance and vary the 3-D effect of the images captured by the image capturing components. The stereoscopic imaging device also preferably includes internal circuitry that can communicate with a remote system by wire hook-up or by wireless communication.
