Explore Scientific 68 Degree Series 28mm Waterproof Eyepiece - EPWP6828-01

Discover the Explore Scientific 68° Series 28mm Waterproof Eyepiece.

Crafted through advanced computer design and utilizing a blend of low dispersion and high refractive index optical glasses, coupled with robust multilayer deposition coatings.

This eyepiece from the Explore Scientific 68° Series 28mm is Argon-Purged and Waterproof, finely tuned to deliver outstanding contrast, resolution, and a pristine flat field.

Immerse yourself in a complete visual experience with their expansive 68° apparent field and generous eye relief.

The eyepiece maintain focus across varying focal lengths and feature a removable, foldable soft silicone rubber eyecup for added comfort during extended observations.

To safeguard the internal components, the eyepiece body is meticulously Argon-purged, ensuring they stay as immaculate as the day they were assembled.

Argon's larger atomic size, in contrast to Nitrogen, provides a more secure seal, reducing the risk of leakage and diffusion over time.

Its inert nature inhibits undesirable reactions with eyepiece components, extending their lifespan, and shields against chemical interactions with potential contaminants.

Moreover, Argon's lower thermal conductivity ensures a slower absorption of heat, buffering against rapid temperature changes in the optics.

This sealed environment effectively prevents internal fogging and the growth of contaminants like fungus between lens elements.

Cleaning is a breeze, without the risk of cleaning solution seeping between elements.

To ensure an impeccable seal, each eyepiece undergoes rigorous testing in one meter of water for 30 minutes.

Elevate your stargazing experience with the Explore Scientific 68° Series 28mm Waterproof Eyepiece.
