A miniature microscope is extremely small, fitting in a palm of a user's hand while providing powerful magnification and enhanced brightness so that the details of an object which cannot be resolved by an unaided eye can be easily seen. The microscope includes a housing have a holder for supporting an object to be viewed. At least one light source is position in the housing off-axis with respect to the object to be viewed. A first prism includes a first prism surface for reflecting light from the light source to a beam splitter surface wherein the beam splitter surface reflects light from the first prism surface to the object to be viewed. The beam splitter surface also passes light reflected from the object therethrough to a second prism. The second prism is positioned with respect to the first prism to provide refraction correction. The miniature microscope also includes a movable focusing optic that receives light passed through the first and second prisms for providing a magnified image of the object supported in the holder.

A support is shown for an image display system that is to be worn on a user's head. The image display system includes an image generating module with at least one optical element into which a user looks to view a generated image and an electronics module, both of these modules being removably mountable on the support. The support includes a head hugging member having a front portion, a pair of side portions, a top portion and a back portion integrally formed from a material with multidirectional elasticity so that the side, top and back portions conform to and hug the user's head. The support also includes a rigid bill secured to the front portion of the head hugging member so that it extends outwardly from a user's forehead for providing a rigid support onto which the image generating module is mounted. Whereas the image generating module is mounted on the front of the support, the electronics module is removably mounted on a back portion of the support to provide a head mounted display system the weight of which is distributed over the user's entire head. In a second embodiment the support is formed of a cloth cap with a rigid bill for supporting the image generating module.

A monocular head mounted display system that is convertible between a right eye display system and a left eye display system includes a generally symmetrical frame. A flexible support arm moveably mounted on the frame, supports an image display module. The image display module includes a display and optical system to project an enlarged image at a distance from the user. With the frame in a first position with the image display module below the frame, the image is viewable by a user's right eye. The system is converted by moving the support arm so that the display module is above the frame in the first position and then the frame is flipped over to an inverted position with the display module again below the frame but the image viewable by the user's left eye.

A head mounted display system includes an image display module for generating a virtual image mounted on a frame to be worn on a user's head. The frame includes a front portion and a pair of temples that are adjustable in length and in tension to accommodate users of various head sizes. The system is further foldable for storage with an eye blocker forming a protective cover for the optical surface of the image display module when it is not in use. A microphone is incorporated into the housing of the image display module to pick up a user's voice and provide hands free operation of the head mounted display system.
