Abstract
Abstract An optical arrangement for producing two anamorphotic images correlated by a interocular base distance, includes two basic optical systems and two afocal anamorphotic systems. The basic optical systems are parallel and spaced laterally by an interocular base distance. Each anamorphotic system has a cylindrical negative lens system mounted adjacent the object space side of the respective basic optical system and a cylindrical positive lens system mounted adjacent the image space side of the respective basic optical system.
