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

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.

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.

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!

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.

Twilight factor.
The higher the twilight factor, the better the
