An integral cryogenic refrigerator, or cryocooler, for cooling an electronic device to cryogenic temperature. The cryocooler has a minimum number of moving parts. A lightweight flexure links a compressor piston to a coupler which is also connected to a regenerator via a lightweight vane. An electric motor with an offset shaft drives the coupler via a bearing through a circular path to impart properly timed motion to the compressor piston and regenerator. This arrangement minimizes the weight and number of moving parts, resulting in maximum efficiency and operating life. Vibration transmission is minimized by mounting the device to be cooled on an end cap having a raised castlated rim. A reusable access port allows the cryocooler to be readily recharged.

An image forming scanning mechanism without obturation in its optical path comprises first and second reflectors that are pivotally actuated about respective orthogonal axes. The scanning reflectors are positioned so that radiant energy in a first optical path from an object field impinges upon a vertical-scan reflector where it is directed to a horizontal-scan reflector and whereupon it is directed back onto the vertical-scan reflector from whence it is reflected along a second optical path in a different plane from the first optical path. The pivotal axes of the vertical-scan reflector and the horizontal-scan reflector are perpendicular to path of radiant energy reflected therefrom. A detector is positioned to receive radiant energy from elemental areas of an object field. The orthogonal disposition of the first and second pivotal axes provides a distortion free image signal from the detector that is comparable with the x-y scan pattern of conventional television display circuits.
