Telemicroscopic apparatus for sighting and bi-level viewing
First Claim
1. Telemicroscopic apparatus comprising a telemicroscope mounted to a carrier for positioning of the telemicroscope in front of a person'"'"'s eye, the telemicroscope being of small outer diameter and mounted such that the person is able to view and perceive a principal image of an object and a clear magnified image of the object simultaneously, the telemicroscope being mounted to the carrier at an angle such that the telemicroscope'"'"'s central viewing axis is angled relative to the proper central line of sight through the carrier, the end of the telemicroscope closest to the eye being displaced further from the central line of sight.

Abstract
To provide for bi-level viewing through a miniature Galilean telemicroscope, the telemicroscope is mounted to a carrier such that its optic axis is angled relative to a principal optic axis defined by the carrier. The carrier may be a spectacle lens, an adaptor to be pressure fit to the rear portion of the aiming mechanism or a gun, or an adaptor to be coupled to an optical instrument. The miniature scope may also be used as the principal sight aperture. Where the optical instrument is a larger telescope, an additional cross hair allows for alignment of the telemicroscope. Fibers extending inwardly from the inner surface of the telemicroscope barrel minimize internal light reflection. The telemicroscope barrel is formed of threaded-like coupled portions which may be rotated relative to each other for focusing.

25. Telemicroscopic apparatus comprising a telemicroscope mounted to a carrier for positioning of the telemicroscope in front of a person'"'"'s eye, the telemicroscope comprising fibrous extensions from the interior walls of a barrel of the telemicroscope for minimizing internal light reflective glare, the telemicroscope being of small outer diameter and mounted such that the person is able to view and perceive a principal image of an object and a clear magnified image of the object simultaneously, the telemicroscope being mounted to the carrier at an angle such that the telemicroscope'"'"'s central viewing axis is angled relative to the proper central line of sight through the carrier, the end of the telemicroscope closest to the eye being displaced further from the central line of sight.
