Product Information

Leitz microscopes are quite simply a quality act, and even though they are (with the Leitz rather than Leica logo) advancing in age you can’t wear out a microscope by looking through it! The 20 EB had the advantage of being a large sturdy microscope with a large base, the lamp housing is internal so there is no need to accommodate a light box to the rear. This particular instrument is equipped with a Zernike phase contrast condenser and a mix of bright field and phase contrast objectives. The microscope is all original which of course adds to its intrinsic value. Trinocular head with a three way lighting control and x10 periplan eyepieces with integrated eyecups that are also suitable for spectacle wearers. Objectives x4 plan (0.10), x10 plan fluotar (0.30), x25 plan phase contrast (0.50), x40 plan phase contrast (0.65), x100 EF (1.25). This microscope has excellent body work and the stage shows very little evidence of slide movement. 20EB’s this good do not come along often these days. Unfortunately, the low price also entails some downsides. The rubber coating of the Nature DX 8x42 feels lower quality than the premium models, and the hinges likewise feel a little less sturdy. The glass is also of lower quality, so low-light situations yield slightly dim images. And yet, the large 42mm objective lenses help in these situations, meaning they perform better in low light than the compact models often found in the same price range. Considering everything, these gripes are minor, and we would wholeheartedly recommend the Nature DX 8x42 to anyone searching for a budget-friendly pair of binoculars. If you're looking to invest in better construction quality without going into the quadruple digits, the Vortex Viper HD 8x42 is another option we recommend considering. Looking for the best binoculars on the market? Whether you enjoy birdwatching from the comfort of your caravan or prefer to stake out in the hottest birding spots, this guide is a great starting point. Here you’ll find a list of some of the best binocular’s money can buy right now as well as a guide on what you should be looking for. The perfect companion for birdwatching in the Great British countryside, the Celestron Nature DX binoculars are an award-winning model. If you're thinking about taking the first step into birdwatching, this is the ideal entry-level pair to try, with a reasonable price and excellent quality of views. The Nature DX boasts phase-coated, high-quality BaK-4 prisms to increase contrast and resolution. This means they are ideal for birdwatching, due to the bright, sharp views of distinguishable markings and features. In fact, the field of view is so wide – on the 10×42 it’s 7.6-degrees and the same as older EL 8.5×42 – that you can step up in magnification without the usual pitfalls of doing so. We generally prefer 8x binoculars over 10x or 12x binoculars because, normally, they strike a better balance between magnification and field of view. These binoculars, however, give you the best of both worlds. The 8x NL Pure have an even wider field of view at a frankly unbelievable 9.1-degrees.

That being said, for daytime use a lens size with a diameter of 21 to 25mm is arguably ideal. You’ll probably also notice the term ‘roof prism’ mentioned as part of the specification of the smaller binoculars we’re showcasing here. Ultimately you don’t have to spend the top price to get a decent optic. What you must consider is how much you are going to use your binoculars and what are you going to use them for.

There is an adage that goes "the best pair of binoculars is the one you use." If you have a pair of binoculars that are comfortable to hold, carry, or look through, chances are you're actually going to use them. In our tests, we found the Swarovski EL 8.5x42 to be the most comfortable of the lot. Every model in the BDII-XD range benefits from a magnesium alloy chassis, a sophisticated moulding process produces the feel and strength of metal with the added benefit of decreased weight. It can be challenging to help your kids develop and improve their knowledge while still having fun. A great way to do this is to get them a pair of binoculars! will get you in closer to the object giving you greater detail but this is at the expense of field of view and brightness of image. As you increase magnification, you narrow your field of view. You can think about this as taking a picture on your phone and zooming in. As you zoom in, the object you want to view becomes larger and in greater detail, however the image as whole becomes smaller and you lose the outside edge. Also, as you increase magnification, the image becomes darker. Higher magnifications are also harder to hold steady as your movements are also more magnified. The higher magnifications are best suited to viewing over a greater distance or for someone who needs the extra fine detail.

For example, this option boasts waterproofed, nitrogen-filled housing to prevent fogging along with high-quality BaK-4 prisms used in their construction to increase brightness. Come to think of it, maybe outdoor shops have these things for mountain climbers or Antarctica travellers. Good one! We can’t control the weather, so it can be disheartening if you plan a viewing day only to have it ruined by poor light conditions. If price isn't a concern and you just want the best optical quality on the market to date, then this pair of Swarovski CL Companion 8x30 compact binoculars are just the thing to let you observe wildlife from as close to 3 meters all the way up to 132 meters – with crystal clear vision. Best binoculars for beginners?The Nikon Monarch M5 8x42 is a great pair of binoculars offering brightness and clarity comparable to binoculars that cost considerably more. It provides a clearer viewing experience than its two closest and most comparable 8x42 competitors, with less edge blurring and more brightness. In all of our testing, we found the Monarch M5s offered the highest level of clarity and brightness before having to nearly double one's budget for a more premium model of binoculars. Hikers, outdoor enthusiasts, and even birders are being targeted by these lightweight ‘take anywhere’ green-bodied roof prism binoculars, which are under half the price of the other Kowa option here. Despite this, they don’t stint on features found in physically larger alternatives.
