Abstract
An optical bypass device comprises a pair of prisms. The capture apertures of the prisms are provided on either side of a projector block. The exit apertures are substantially adjacent to one another. In this manner the prisms can act to direct incident light around the projector block and into the image intensifier aperture. In the projector block is provided an OLED screen operable to display an image including text overlay information corresponding to that captured by the thermal imaging camera. The image is projected through a small opening provided where the prisms are connected.
