Patent ID: 8400712

Claim:
An apparatus comprising an optical sight that includes: a viewing section; objective optics, wherein a beam of radiation representing a scene external to said sight enters said sight through said objective optics; image-generating optics that generate from said beam a first image of said scene that is supplied to a first portion of a field of view at said viewing section, and that generate from said beam a second image of said scene that differs from said first image and that is supplied to a second portion of said field of view mutually exclusive from said first portion thereof, wherein said image-generating optics include: a splitting section that is disposed in the path of said beam and that splits said beam into first and second sub-beams; a combining section that combines said first and second sub-beams in a manner so that radiation from said first sub-beam appears as said first image in said first portion of said field of view at said viewing section and radiation from said second sub-beam appears as said second image in said second portion of said field of view; and a processing section that modifies one of said first and second sub-beams in relation to the other thereof; and reticle introducing structure that superimposes a first reticle on said first image, and superimposes a second reticle on said second image.
