Explore Scientific 68 Degree Series 16mm Waterproof Eyepiece - EPWP6816-01
Discover the Explore Scientific 68° Series 16mm Waterproof Eyepiece – a marvel of precision engineering.
Crafted with cutting-edge computer design, a blend of low dispersion and high refractive index optical glass, and fortified with durable multilayer deposition coatings, these eyepieces are built for excellence.
Experience the universe in astonishing detail, thanks to their capacity for high contrast, exceptional resolution, and an impeccably flat field.
Immerse yourself in celestial wonders with their extensive 68° apparent field and generous eye relief.
They maintain focus consistently across various focal lengths, making your observing sessions seamless.
Plus, enjoy enhanced comfort with a removable, foldable soft silicone rubber eyecup.
But that's not all. Our eyepieces are Argon-purged, safeguarding their internal elements from the harsh outdoor elements.
Argon's larger atomic size ensures a superior seal, minimizing the risk of leaks over time. Its inert nature protects eyepiece components, extending their lifespan.
Additionally, Argon's reduced heat conductivity buffers against rapid temperature changes, ensuring stable optical performance.
Say goodbye to fogging and contaminants; our waterproof eyepiece creates a sealed, dry environment.
Cleaning is effortless, with no risk of cleaning solution creeping between lens elements. Rest assured in their reliability – each eyepiece undergoes rigorous testing in one meter of water for 30 minutes to guarantee a perfect seal.
Unlock new horizons and explore with clarity, comfort, and confidence.
