Optical-kinematic scheme of a binocular periscope device

Abstract

Modern optical devices play an important role in the national economy. The scope of application of optical devices is expanding. The requirements for accuracy, speed, informativeness and reliability of work are gradually increasing. This complicates the design of devices, increases the requirements for manufacturing technology, especially for assembly and alignment. To solve these problems, it is of great importance to study the basics of the alignment of individual optical nodes and devices as a whole. The possibility and ease of adjustment of an optical device is one of the most important criteria for the manufacturability of the device design. In this article, the principal optical-kinematic scheme of a binocular periscope device used for orientation on the terrain, target recognition and observation is considered.
