    If a digital image, an image sequence or a video is now recorded from an image section viewed by the long-range optical device, this is transmitted via the connection to the electronic terminal essentially in real time or with low latency. Images, image sequences or videos therefore only have to be temporarily stored in the storage unit of the long-range optical device. The storage unit therefore only has to provide a small amount of storage space. The long-range optical device according to the invention can thus continue

    An alternative measure provides that when an electronic control button is pressed by the operator, the focusing of the image of the distant
    Object is triggered in the image capture channel.

For thermal management, a third heat dissipation device 45 is also formed between the housing 4 of the long-range optical device 1 and the camera module 32. A thermal coupling of the camera module 32 or the image capture channel 3 to the housing 4 can be achieved via a heat

    9 shows the carrier frame 101 of the carrier unit 27 of the long-range optical device 1, shown in perspective. For reasons of clarity, components or assemblies arranged on the carrier frame 101 for building the carrier unit 27 are not shown (FIG. 5). The viewing channel 2 and the image capturing channel 3 are accommodated in two tubular recesses in the support frame 101, which is also indicated by a first optical axis 102 of the viewing channel 2 and a second optical axis 103 of the image capturing channel 3. The carrier frame 101 is preferably designed in one piece, whereby an exact and stable alignment of the viewing channel 2 and the image acquisition channel 3 relative to one another can be ensured. A first and a second bearing bush 104, 105 for mounting are also located on the support frame 101
    take a push rod 106 of the adjustment mechanism 30 can be seen (Fig. 10).
    FIG. 10 shows a top view of the carrier unit 27, in which the carrier frame 101 is shown together with optical components of the viewing channel 2 and the image acquisition channel 3. The representation corresponds to a plan view in
    Direction perpendicular to one of the optical axes 102, 103 of the viewing channel 2
    N2019 / 05800-AT-00
    or the image acquisition channel 3 containing level. The push rod 106 of the adjustment mechanism 30 is coupled by means of a first driver 107 and a second driver 108 to corresponding displaceable lens mounts of the viewing channel 2 and of the image capturing channel 3. When it is actuated, the focusing ring 5 (FIG. 1) can act on the adjustment mechanism 30 via corresponding control grooves (not shown) in such a way that the push rod 106 is moved parallel to the optical axes 102, 103. By coupling to the push rod 106 by means of the drivers 107, 108, a first focusing lens 109 of the viewing channel 2 on the one hand and a second focusing lens 110 of the image capturing channel 3 on the other hand (FIG. 11) are finally displaced in the axial direction. The focusing ring 5, the push rod 106 and the two drivers 107, 108 thus form a first focusing device, by means of which the first focusing lens 109 of the viewing channel 2 and the second focusing lens 110 of the image acquisition system
    channel 3 can be moved together.
    On the other hand, an eyepiece mount 111 of a first eyepiece 112 (a lens system formed from several individual lenses) of the viewing channel 2 can also be seen on the observer-side end region of the viewing channel 2 of the support frame 101 (FIG. 11). The ocular lenses 112 can be displaced in the direction of the optical axis 102 by actuation or by rotating the diopter ring 6 (FIG. 1). In this way a second focusing device is at the viewing channel 2
    of the long-range optical device 1 formed.
    11 shows the two optical systems of the viewing channel 2 and the image capturing channel 3, shown on the basis of a cross section corresponding to a plane of intersection with the optical axes 102, 103 of the viewing channel 2 and the image capturing channel 3 1 in FIG. 11 the representation of components other than the lenses or prisms responsible for the optical imaging has been largely omitted. Incidentally, it should also be noted at this point that in this respect the term “lenses” such as an ocular lens, an objective lens or a focusing lens is used and the term “lens” is used in the singular.
    N2019 / 05800-AT-00
    This is not to be understood in a restrictive manner, but rather that a system of several lenses is or can be meant by this. In technical optics, this is to avoid or compensate for
    Image errors are common.
    A cover glass 113 or a cover glass 114 is provided on the object side in both the viewing channel 2 and the image acquisition channel 3. Following the cover glass 113, the viewing channel 2 contains an objective lens 115, the focusing lens 109, an erecting system 116 formed by prisms, a field lens 117, a reticle 118 and the ocular lens 112. The optical elements mentioned provide a first beam path for the enlarged representation of a distant Object formed. On the other hand, a second beam path is formed in the image acquisition channel 3. Its optical elements are, adjacent to the cover glass 114, an objective lens 119, the focusing lens 110, an ocular lens 120 and the camera module 32. The objective lens 119, the focusing lens 110 and the ocular lens 120 of the image acquisition channel 3 together form an afocal lens system. The camera module 32 is preferably used as a unit with an electronic image acquisition sensor, its own lens and with an integrated
    Auto focus function formed.
    Indicated by dashed lines, parts of the adjustment mechanism 30, such as the push rod 106 and the two drivers 107, 108, for moving the focusing lens 109 of the viewing channel 2 and the focusing lens 110 of the image capturing channel 3 together are also shown in the illustration according to FIG. 11. As already mentioned above, the ocular lens 112 can also be displaced in the direction of the optical axis 102 of the viewing channel 2. This enables a user to first focus the eyepiece lens 112 on markings (not shown) on the reticle 118 by actuating the diopter ring 6. The reticle 118 is arranged in a fixed location in the viewing channel 2 in the direction of the optical axis 102. Due to the spatial arrangement of the reticle 118
    A reference image plane 121 is thus established.
    On the other hand, the markings made on the reticle 118 are in the
    Way arranged that an operator or a viewer one of the
    N2019 / 05800-AT-00
    Camera module 32 captured image section is identified. The markings provided are preferably those through which the lateral edges of a rectangular image section or the corners of the image section are displayed.
    the.
    When operating the long-range optical device 1 to observe a distant object, a person will proceed in such a way that, when looking through the viewing channel 2, they first focus the eyepiece or the eyepiece lens 112 on the reference image plane 121 using the diopter ring 6. Subsequently, when aligning the long-range optical device 1 with a distant object (or when aiming at it), an image of the distant object can likewise be brought into focus by turning the focusing ring 5. This focusing of the image of the distant object is equivalent to a displacement of an image plane of the image of the distant object, so that it comes to lie as precisely as possible in the reference image plane 121. Thus, when looking through the eyepiece 112, the operator sees the markings on the reticle 118 and
    the image of the distant object is equally sharp.
    The focusing lens 109 of the viewing channel 2 is arranged in relation to the reference image plane 118 on a side of the reference image plane 118 facing away from the eyepiece 112. As a result, the focusing of the ocular lens 112 on the reticle 118 and the focusing of the image of the distant object on the reference image plane 121 can be carried out independently of one another. This in so far as a shift of the focusing lens 109 of the viewing channel 2 does not lead to a defocusing
    tion of the eyepiece lens 112 leads to the reticle 118, and vice versa.
    Since the focusing lens 109 of the viewing channel 2 and the focusing lens 110 of the image acquisition channel 3 are moved together by actuating the focusing ring 5 and thus moving the adjustment mechanism 30, the above-described second focusing operation of the viewing channel 2 (moving the focusing lens 109) also causes an axial one at the same time Displacement of the image planes of the removed object in the beam path of the image acquisition channel 3.
    This shift of the image planes in the image acquisition channel 3 has the effect
    N2019 / 05800-AT-00
    a pre-setting or a coarse setting of the image sharpness of the image acquisition channel 3. A subsequent fine adjustment of the image sharpness is finally effected by the autofocus function of the camera or of the camera module 32. The lens of the camera module 32, which can be changed by the autofocus function of the camera module 32, is automatically adjusted so that a sharp image of the distant object is displayed on the light-sensitive sensor surface.
    The automatic focusing of the image in the image acquisition channel 3 with the autofocus function of the camera module 32 is preferably started immediately after the electronic control button 13 has been actuated to trigger an image recording. The activation of the autofocus function of the camera module 32 can alternatively also be triggered by the processor unit 31 under program control. For example, with the aid of sensors that may be provided, movements of the focusing lens 109 and the ocular lens 112 can be monitored by the processor unit 31. In the event that the processor unit 31 detects a sequence of the adjustment of the ocular lens 112 with the diopter ring 6 and then an adjustment of the focusing lens 109 by operating the focusing ring 5, the processor unit 31 can use the autofocus function of the camera module 32 immediately after the end of the movement of the focusing lens 109 to be triggered. This has the advantage that in the case of using the mobile application with the function of a live streaming on the electronic terminal 11, any change in the focusing of the viewing channel 2 by the person operating the long-range optical device 1 also results in a corresponding focusing of the image on the electronic terminal 11 leads without
    that for this purpose the electronic control button 13 must be actuated again.
    When the autofocus function of the camera module 32 is initiated by the processor unit 31, it is preferably provided that only the detection of an end of the movement of the focusing lens 109 is used as a criterion. As long as the same person operates the long-range optical device 1, readjustment of the ocular lens 112 for diopter compensation will not be necessary. The AU-
    automatic triggering of the autofocusing after completion of a manual
    N2019 / 05800-AT-00
    Focusing also has the advantage that when triggering an image / video recording by pressing the control button 13, repeated autofocusing can be dispensed with. This significantly speeds up the entire recording process, as the time between the shutter release and the actual image recording is noticeable
    is shortened.
    By means of an integrated compass, the long-range optical device 1, or its processor unit 31, can identify whether an observation phase in which the long-range optical device 1 is directed at a distant and non-moving object (the device is at rest) , takes place. If this is the case, the automatic focusing can be started as described above after completion of the manual focus. It is also conceivable that an automatic image / video recording is started in the background during the detected observation phase. The image material can e.g. can be subsequently evaluated or, in the case of manual triggering, provide image material shortly before / after the triggering. With the images automatically recorded in the background, it would also be possible to perform an automatic selection with an object classification.
    tion (e.g. only birds or faces).
    When an image recorded by the camera module 32 is displayed on the display device 38 of the electronic terminal 11 of the observation and image acquisition system 20 (FIG. 5), it is also possible for an operator to select an image section of the reproduced image on the electronic terminal 11 and use it in In response to this, the camera module 32 of the long-range optical device 1 is controlled by the user program (the app) on the electronic terminal 11. The autofocus device of the camera module 32 then re-focuses on a corresponding detail of the image section selected on the electronic terminal 11. With an otherwise unchanged setting and alignment of the long-range optical device 1 on a distant object or a corresponding scene in the field of view, focusing on different details or objects of the displayed objects at different distances can be done on the electronic terminal 11.
    created scenery. When using one through a touch screen
    N2019 / 05800-AT-00
    The display device 38 formed could for this purpose simply touch the screen at a point at which an object is displayed, such a new focusing by the autofocus device of the camera module 32 on evenly

    The optical systems of the viewing channel 2 and the image capturing channel 3 of the long-range optical device 1 according to this embodiment are shown below in FIG
    the two tables 1 and 2 based on their technical data.
    Table 1 shows the optical data of the lens system of the viewing channel 2. "M" denotes the number of the surface, according to a counting method starting at the object-side end of the system. "R" indicates the radius of the curvature of the surface and "d" indicates the distance to the next surface. Radii of curvature and distances are given in mm. With regard to the signs of the radii of curvature “r” of the surfaces, the convention that is otherwise common in technical optics is used. I.e. the radius is given as the distance from the reference point of the surface, i.e. the point that is common to the optical axis towards its center of curvature. If this direction (from the reference point of the surface to its center of curvature) is the same as the direction from the object to the observer (main direction of propagation of light, z-coordinate), the radius has a positive sign, otherwise the sign is negative. By specifying “inf” (= “Infinity”) for the radius r, a plane surface is designated. In the fourth column, "Glass", the type of glass is specified in the designation of the Schott AG catalog. An "L * stands for air between the glassware
    two consecutive lenses or plates.
