ABSTRACT:
An infrared viewing apparatus is described which comprises an infrared objective, a pivotal mirror, a linear infrared detection array, an amplifier arrangement connected to this array, and a display array which is driven by the amplifier arrangement and is imaged onto a plane of observation via the back of the pivotal mirror. By arranging a beam splitter in the radiation path between the display array and the pivotal mirror, which beam splitter transmits a part of the visible radiation to a line sensor, and by controlling the read-out of this sensor by synchronizing device which detects the movement of the pivotal mirror, an electric signal for remote display purposes can be obtained.
