Abstract: An electrical-optical system is disclosed having a turning mirror (24) for superimposing light rays (44) of an indicator LED (40) into the primary optical path (28) of an image (18). The turning mirror (24) comprises a solid having a frontal mirrored reflective surface (78) with a pinhole (80) etched therein. Offset from the pinhole (80), and disposed on the backside of the turning mirror (24) is a cavity (86) housing an LED indicator light (40). The light rays from the LED (40) pass through the pinhole (80) in such a direction as to be colinear with the image ray bundle (28) reflected from the mirrored surface (78).

Abstract: An eyecup (24) for interfacing a night vision goggle (10) with the eyes of the user (12). A flexible curved eyepiece (28) including a wing (38) provides a tight seal of the periphery of the eyepiece (28) to the occular eye area of the user (12). The seal prevents light (22) emitted from the goggle (10) from escaping out of the confines of the eyecup (24). A fastening sleeve (26) is provided to secure the eyecup (24) about a flange on the goggle (10). An intermediate accordion section (40) allows compression and expansion and maintains the seal between the eyepiece (28) and the ocular eye area. An air vent hole (52) is formed in the accordion section (40) to prevent suction from occurring within the eyecup (24).
