Abstract

See full text

An optoelectronic device is provided for an optical instrument. The device includes both an image sensor and a zoom system disposed along a common optical path. The zoom system includes a plurality of lens groups for imaging an optical image from the optical instrument. The plurality includes, in relative order along the common optical path, a first lens group and a second lens group. The first lens group includes at least one deformable lens with a variable curvature and is fixed relative to the image sensor. The second lens group is optically arranged between the first lens group and the image sensor and is adapted to move relative to the first lens group in a direction substantially coaxial with at least a portion of the common optical path.
