ABSTRACT:
A surveying instrument in which the image being viewed can be easily observed independently of the position of the optical system, and distance and/or angle data can be simultaneously displayed. The instrument includes an optical system including an objective lens and focusing lens, a solid-state image pickup element, a video signal processing circuit for processing video signals provided by the solid-state image pickup element, and an image display section for displaying an image in response to outputs of the video signal processing circuit. Preferably, the image display section displays the sensed image along with distance and/or angle data at a position on the body of the surveying instrument which is not rotated with the optical system.
