    Abstract: An imaging module comprises: a single-pupil head component with hyper-hemispherical entrance field with refractive entrance surface, concave exit face, a refractive central zone and reflective peripheral zone, and comprising a secondary mirror, an aberrations corrector which comprises an aspherical lens, a focusing objective, an aperture diaphragm between the aberrations corrector and the objective. The head component is quasi-afocal in the vicinity of the field of 90° angular radius, its entrance surface has a ½ vertex angle of smaller than 30°, the secondary mirror is aspherical with variable local focal length with a maximum local power for a zone used by a field of 90° angular radius and minimum smaller by at least a factor of 2 for a zone used by a field of angular radius smaller than 20°.
