The Steiner Safari UltraSharp binoculars have 8x magnification, which means they bring objects 8 times closer to you. ErgoTube 45° - Bring the microscope closer to you When you cannot get close to the stereo microscope, let the ErgoTube 45° bring the microscope closer to you! The long eyepiece tubes displace the viewing point 65 mm upwards and 65 mm towards the observer. And the sky is always changing. Summertime offers such showpiece sights as Mizar and Alcor, the famous pair of stars at the bend in the Big Dipper's handle, and the perfectly round little fuzzball of M13, the Great Cluster in Hercules. Sweep the summer Milky Way from Cygnus overhead through Sagittarius low in the south, looking for knots of stars and luminous bubbles of interstellar gas. Some sections of the Milky Way look, to me, better in binoculars for astronomy than through any telescope. So you’re on the lookout for a pair of binoculars? Whether this is your first pair or perhaps you’re looking to upgrade, whatever your situation we’ve got a pair for you. What do the numbers mean? There are two things to say about this microscope firstly the body work and stage surfaces are truly excellent considering its age but secondly the voltmeter on the front no longer registers changes but this does not in any way effect its electrical performance or the illumination system. Everything about this microscope is original. The trinocular head has the usual image diversion system for camera work and we have added a trinocular adapter to make camera connection much easier than the very wide Leitz trinocular tube. The eyepieces are x10 periplan. Objectives EF x4 (0.12), x10 plan fluotar (0.30), x16 plan fluotar (0.45), x40 NPL fluotar (0.70), x100 NPL fluotar (1.32). The NA numbers show this is a good set. Large mechanical stage with coaxial drop down controls. Condenser with flip top lens. Integral 6v 20 watt halogen Kohler illumination system. The general condition of this microscope shows that it was almost certainly owned by an individual who cared rather than a laboratory ‘workhorse’. A very nice microscope

If price isn't a concern and you just want the best optical quality on the market to date, then this pair of Swarovski CL Companion 8x30 compact binoculars are just the thing to let you observe wildlife from as close to 3 meters all the way up to 132 meters – with crystal clear vision. Best binoculars for beginners? Fujinon 6x30 FMTR-SX (huge oversized prisms with rounded bottoms, not good for thumb hold, and stubby barrels that are truly vestigial, but oh, that super 3-D view!)Binoculars are an investment and you don’t want something that is going to be ruined during bad weather conditions. Fogproofing: To prevent binoculars from fogging up when transitioning from the cold outdoors to the warm indoors, manufacturers fill their binoculars with an inert gas (usually argon or nitrogen) that has no water content and thus inhibits condensation. Real multipurpose binoculars. The SLC 8x42 and the SLC 10x42 binoculars are sturdy in any weather, day in day out, and also stand out thanks to their particularly high optical quality. You will enjoy these rugged, ergonomic binoculars for many years. All models in the BDII-XD range benefit from excellent close focus performance. The 42mm series can focus down to 1.8m whilst the 32mm models can achieve an incredible 1.3m close focussing distance. Enjoy a secret, invisible world in breathtaking detail. Observe insects, flowers and other micro objects under magnification in great detail from a comfortable position without having to disturb the subject. Astronomy is done in the dark, so you really want big aperture: big front lenses. These collect lots of light so you can see fainter things. This doesn't matter so much in the daytime, when there's plenty of light and you can get by with small front lenses — allowing daytime binoculars to be smaller, lighter, and less expensive. But for binoculars for astronomy, the bigger the aperture the better.

High-end binoculars that live up to their pedigree, but have some downsides compared to other top of the line modelsYou should therefore look at how durable the best kids’ binoculars are. Naturally, the binoculars should be made from durable materials.

Features: Compact – Light Weight – 8x Magnification – Maximum Precision Lenses – 3D Brilliance – Focusing Knob – Suitable For Glasses – Comfortable – Non-Slip Grip – Durable – Rugged, Resilient Design – High Quality Rubber.Another surprise for our test team was the Nikon Aculon A211, which performed as well as models that were twice as expensive, although this was likely due to the clunky size of the porro-prism design, a massive tradeoff in size for performance.
