Binoculars Basics

Keplerian telescope

Disadvantages:

relatively big and heavy

Monoscopic image

not stereoscopic which creates a 3D image.

Porro prism

• Advantages:

• Less reflections in the prism

• Brighter and optical quality is better

• Distance between objective lenses

can be bigger – better 3D effect

• More robust and mechanically strong

• Better handling due to better weight

balance

Disdvantage:

Due to more reflections in the prism

less bright and less optical quality

smaller angle of view

more expensive to produce

Advantages:

Smaller and compact design.

Lightweight

Focusing for close distance

can be done

Flattener optic

Fujinon is using the experience from

design of TV and Cine lenses to

design binoculars with reduced field curvature.

Flat-Field-Technology:

Tack-sharp image right to the very field-edge

gives excellent vision over the complete field-of-view

The image is sharp to the corner which is giving very high

observation comfort.

Individual eyepiece focusing

Individual eyepiece focusing allows sharp image from

about ~12m to infinity

without re-focusing by hand

The eye piece is precisely adopted to the human eye.

Focusing is done with the human eye.

No quicker focus is possible.

Gyro- Stabilisation

The torque caused by the two opposing forces Fg and -Fg causes a change in the

angular momentum L in the direction of that torque (since torque is the time

derivative of angular momentum). This causes the top to precess.

Optical transmission.

Fujinon EBC coated binoculars have an extremely high level of optical transmission:

with an average rate of optical transmission of 95% over the whole visible spectrum

they offer particularly good night sight qualities and an unbeatable image quality

even at low light levels – the most important consideration for marine use!

EBC coating outperforms neutral colour rendering and durability.

ED lens

ED = Extra low dispersion

With the construction of large

binoculars it is difficult to correct the

chromatic aberration.

As higher the magnification as more

the color aberrations may be seen.

With using extra low dispersion

material for the lenses color blurring

is avoided.

ED lenses should be used for

astronomy.

The refraction index is depending

on the wavelength. In a prism,

material dispersion causes different

colors to refract at different angles.

The exit pupil.

The larger the diameter of the exit pupil, the

lighter and clearer the image.

Relative brightness.

The square of the diameter of the exit pupil

gives the relative strength of illumination.

7.1 = 50/7

relative brightness = exit pupil x exit pupil

Twilight factor

Twilight factor.

The higher the twilight factor, the better the

recognition of detail, even in unfavourable

lighting conditions.

The twilight factor is calculated from

the square root of the lens diameter

multiplied by the magnification.

7.1 = 50/7

twilight factor = lens diameter x magnification
