An infrared refractive reimaging afocal telescope (10) has an objective lens group (12), an eyepiece lens group (14), and a switching lens group (16). The system (10) provides a plurality of magnification modes in a compact arrangement. The system (10) utilizes lenses (40, 42, 44, 46) with diffractive surfaces to provide for magnification changes and chromatic aberration correction. The system provides for excellent image quality in all modes using a minimum number of lens elements.
