High-resolution imaging systems are provided. In one embodiment, an
imaging system based on a Cassegrain or Schmidt-Cassegrain objective,
with coaxial primary and secondary mirrors, is provided with a
microdisplacement mechanism acting on the secondary mirror to displace
the image on a focusing array. In another embodiment, two co-axial
Cassegrain-type objectives are provided one within the other with a
common focal plane array, which therefore detects combined wide
field-of-view and narrow field-of-view images.
