The assembly includes a collecting lens, focusing lens subassembly movable along the optical axis to provide range focus, an intermediate focal plane, an eyepiece lens subassembly, and an aperture stop. A wide field of view lens subassembly may be used on the optical axis. All lenses are made of either GaAs or ZnS, and all lenses are single lenses only.
