Patent ID: 7333270

Claim:
A night vision device, comprising: a multispectral objective lens operable for receiving an image; a dichroic device structured to receive light from the multispectral objective lens and to separate the light into visible/near infrared light and infrared light, the visible/near infrared light comprising visible light and near infrared light; an image intensifying assembly structured to receive the visible/near infrared light from the dichroic device; an infrared camera structured to receive the infrared light from the dichroic device; at least one display structured to display an image transmitted from a device selected from the group consisting of the image intensifying assembly, the infrared camera, and a combination thereof; and a collimator structured to receive the displayed image and project and output the displayed image such that the projected image when viewed through the night vision device appears to originate from substantially the same angle at which the image entered the multispectral objective lens.
