ABSTRACT:
An optical apparatus that enables an object at a first location to be viewed from a second remote location. The optical apparatus includes at least one objective lens assembly that views the object at the first location. The objective lens assembly focuses the viewed image onto the input plane of an image conduit. The fiber optic conduit propagates the image to the second remote location, wherein the image is projected from the image conduit onto the back surface of a substantially transparent planar member. The back surface of the planar member is not highly polished. As a result, the image projected onto the back surface does not pass directly through the planar member. The reflections caused by the unpolished nature of the surface allow the image to be viewed on the back surface of the planar member through the body of the planar member.
