R:mgefinder
When looking: through the rangefmder eye window
(when the camera is
out
of
focus). two images are
seen in the small
amber
or purple square. (In some
cameras. this may
be
a circie.) These images resull
from the ability
of
the bearnsr!itter
to
have iight
transmitted through
il
while simultaneouslY hav-
ing light reflected from it. This
pro
pert)' aUows
the viewer
to
observe one image superimposed
upon .mother image.
The
bearnspHtter also has
dichroic characteristics which
impart
color
to
the
reOected
image. One
of
these jmages.,
the
fixed
jma~,
comes directly from the left rangefinder
window and is
transmitted
through
the beam*
splitter
to
the
eye
window.
The
second image;
the movable image. is channeled
through
the right
rangefinder window
to
the movable image
mirror
which reverses it.
The
image is reflected through
