Relates to the beam of light emitted by the eyepiece. The exit pupil is closely associated with the brightness of a pair of binoculars.

Dioptre compensation can be used to compensate for differences between the right and left eye.

Coatings on optical surfaces have the job of minimising annoying reflections. In this way light transmission and contrast is increased.

Ensures high resolution and good contrast.

The eyecups are located on the eyepieces and protect they eyes from stray light.

These eyepieces have a relatively large eye relief. It is possible to wear spectacles while observing and still benefit from a comfortable viewing position.
