Description
The optical systems re-designed on the basis of the Carl Zeiss Advanced Optics System (AOS) use glass material containing fluorine ions, which provides the objective lenses with superachromatic properties - with natural color rendition down to even the finest nuances, superb detail recognition and no color fringes. These optics are LotuTec coated.
Two wide-angle eyepieces with fixed magnifications and one zoom eyepiece are available - including a bayonet mount with a safety catch for rapid eyepiece change. The ergonomically designed dual focusing system features two wheels for fast focusing and, if required, fine focusing with just one hand. Additional features include rotatable, generously dimensioned tripod bracket; extensible sunshade with sight and leakage test and nitrogen filling.
Needless to say, the scopes are all provided with Carl Zeiss T* multilayer coating on all glass-to-air surfaces for maximum transmission and natural color rendition, and Carl Zeiss P coating on the roof surfaces of the reversal prisms for maximum resolution.
Available in a choice of straight-through or angled-bodies, both models include extended eye relief and twist-up eyecups. Use a straight-through version to observe birds on the ground or at eye level. The angled-eyepiece version eliminates neck strain that occurs when viewing birds perched high in a tree. This is also the best model to use with a tripod, as it can positioned lower to the ground.
Housed in an alloy aluminum body, both models are corrosion-resistant and are the lightest in their class. The robust, water and dust-proof casing protects the Diascope when used in rough terrain or tropical climates even with the eyepieces removed. Rapid changes in temperature have no influence on its optical performance as nitrogen filling prevents fogging of the lens elements inside the casing.
The Diascope 85 T* FL is in a class all by itself in every respect. With its excellent weight/performance ratio - it tips the scales at just 3.20 pounds - and a length of 13.58 inches, it is lightweight and very portable in the field. With a close focusing of 16.3 feet, the Diascope 85 T* FL allows a closer view into the fascinating world of insects and animals without disturbing them. The lower weight also allows the use of a lighter tripod. |
