  • Selectable offset image wedge
    Patent number: 11619824
    Abstract: The invention discloses a selectable offset image wedge assembly and various methods for making and for use with any optical system having a circular lens and an objective, comprising a housing with a rear-facing end that mounts onto the objective and a forward-facing end with a circular wedge lens mounted therein that is coaxially aligned with the circular lens of the optical system, wherein, the wedge is adjustable to any predetermined clocking position after detachment from the optical system, allowing quick and repeated reattachment to the optical system to an approximately exact vertical orientation of a first image produced by the wedge lens and a second image produced by the circular lens of the optical system.
