1. An apparatus adapted for producing an image of objects in an ultra-wide field of view angle, comprising: an optical subsystem comprising: a first convex aspheric mirror defining a central aperture and an optical axis; a second aspheric mirror defining a central aperture, the second aspheric mirror disposed along the optical axis relative to the first convex aspheric mirror; and a third aspheric mirror also disposed along the optical axis at or near the first convex aspheric mirror central aperture; wherein the image of objects in the ultra-wide field of view angle is correctable by a standard optical element, to produce on an image plane the image having an optical resolution equal to or exceeding the Nyquist sampling criterion for the image sensor captured the optical image and adjusted to the image plane.
