ABSTRACT:
An imaging device includes a refractive imager lying in an optical path, and optionally a telescope that directs the optical path to the refractive imager. The refractive imager includes a first lens group that forms an intermediate image of a scene on the optical path, wherein the first lens group includes a first-lens-group positive-power lens, and a first-lens-group negative-power lens. A second lens group relays the intermediate image to a final image surface on the optical path, wherein the second lens group includes a second-lens-group positive-power lens, and a second-lens-group negative-power lens. A third lens group may be selectively inserted into the optical path between the first lens group and the second lens group and selectively removed from the optical path. The third lens group includes a third-lens-group positive-power lens, and a third-lens-group negative-power lens.
