Optics magnification

Optics magnification
Explanations for choosing the right binocular magnification The magnification of a binocular model is perhaps the most misunderstood feature. High magnification can be useful! However, magnification in itself is by no means a criterion for the quality, image quality or detail recognition capability of binoculars! The "first" number (e.g. 10x..) of an optical system stands for the magnification. With a 10x [...]

Lens diameter for binoculars and riflescopes

Lens diameter of binoculars
Influence of objective lens diameter on the light intensity of the binoculars or on the objective lens light intensity The "second" figure (e.g. ..x50) indicates the diameter of the front lens of the objective lens (usually the larger diameter) in mm. The larger this is, the more light can be captured by the Lens of the optics. While during the day a Lens diameter of 20mm is sufficient [...]

Twilight factor and twilight performance

Twilight performance binoculars
Calculation of twilight factor and statement on Twilight performance for binoculars The visual acuity of the human eye decreases with age. Twilight to around a third of daytime visual acuity. The eye's sensitivity only increases for the blue spectral range. In order to be able to recognise details over long distances even in twilight, binoculars with high Magnification and corresponding [...]

Exit pupil binoculars - calculate and explain

Exit pupil binoculars
Exit pupil Binoculars - meaning and calculation For seeing in the Twilight (twilight vision) is of great importance, in addition to the Twilight numberthe binoculars exit pupil on the Eyepiece of the binoculars. The following applies: the larger the diameter of the exit pupil, the greater the theoretical image brightness in the binoculars. Eye. Calculating the exit pupil To determine the exit pupil of binoculars, calculate the quotient of binoculars Enlargement and Lens diameter: With binoculars 8x56 calculated [...]

Field of view and viewing angle for optics such as binoculars and riflescopes

Calculate field of view and viewing angle
Binoculars and riflescope Field of view and Point of view The field of view of binoculars or riflescopes is specified either in degrees (angle of view) or in metres. The size of the field of view indicates the width of the terrain that can be observed through the binoculars at a distance of 1000 metres. In contrast, the field of view of riflescopes is usually specified for distances of 100 metres. Binoculars without a wide-angle function have a [...]

Edge sharpness for binoculars

Edge sharpness for binoculars
Edge sharpness at the Field of vision For binoculars, the image sharpness decreases from the centre of the image to the edge for technical reasons (due to the shape of the lens). As a rule, it can be assumed that the higher the quality standard of the binoculars, the better the edge sharpness and the smaller the drop in sharpness. If the field of view is generously specified for inexpensive [...]

Optical coating and coating of lenses and prisms

Optical coating Binoculars
Maximum optical performance through optical coating of Lenses and Prisms If light hits a glass-air surface, e.g. with a Roof prism), the reflection causes a loss of light. This results in a loss of image brightness, contrast and colour brilliance. Through a Coating The surface of lenses and prisms in binoculars or riflescopes with a thin layer of metal salts can limit this reflection. Thanks to [...]

Rubber armouring for binoculars

Rubber armour binoculars
Binoculars Rubber armouring for better grip and additional protection Additional protection of the binoculars in harsh conditions is achieved by applying a resistant rubber armouring to the binoculars housing. In addition to better protection against impact and shock, this also ensures that the binoculars can be held securely in wet or cold weather. Extract Binoculars with rubber armouring in the Optics Shop For you! [...]

Nitrogen filling for binoculars

Nitrogen filling binoculars
Nitrogen filling for sealing optical devices such as binoculars and optical sights Temperature fluctuations can cause moisture to enter the housing of binoculars and cause the internal glass surfaces to fog up. Filling with dry nitrogen (Nitrogen filling) is used for the Assembly This reduces the moisture content and thus prevents the inside of the lenses from fogging up later. High-quality binoculars are completely sealed airtight after [...]

Prism comparison of Porro and roof prisms

Prism comparison binoculars
Difference and comparison of porroprisms to Roof prisms The design of the binoculars is always determined by the type of prism used. Difference Prisms Systems left: Roof edge, right: Porro Porro Prism Binoculars with the Porro prism design can be recognised by their relatively low height and wide design. Advantage: The greater distance between the two lenses promotes spatial vision. A graphical representation and [...]

Aspherical lenses

Aspherical lenses
Increase in optical performance through aspherical lenses The use of aspherical (non-spherical) lenses increases optical performance, especially at the edges. By changing the curvature towards the edge of the lens, light rays reaching the edges are also precisely deflected, resulting in a significantly sharper, high-contrast and detailed image across the entire field of view. Main advantage of aspherical lenses Through [...]
