Monocular MZ-8-24x25C

Describes the internal structure of a pair of binoculars, thereby further subdividing the different types.

A very compact long-range scope through which you observe with just one eye.

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

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

Binoculars are focused by focusing on the object, or rather the eyes of the observer.

The sharpness is adjusted via a central focusing wheel.

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

On these models, the compass display is usually shown in a small part of the field of view. A distinction is made between digital and manual versions.

These binoculars may only be exposed to moderate moisture or light drops of water.

The binoculars’ magnification may be variably adjusted using either a lever or a scroll-wheel.

The angular field of view visible with the binoculars.

The shortest distance which can still be seen sharply through binoculars.

Used to compare binoculars’ performance in low light conditions. The higher the number, the more suitable it is for twilight. However, the value should always be considered in connection with the exit pupil.

Binoculars are usually equipped with an armouring that protects the binoculars and makes them easier to grip.

Compact and lightweight.
