Eyepieces (4-1/1)
−
All "Br. foc" eyepiece types are fitted with a control for the compensation of ametropia of the user's
eyes (see Section 3.4). Besides, they permit eyepiece reticles to be mounted (see Section 2.7).
Binocular tubes (4-1/2)
−
The binocular tubes offered permit individual setting of the interpupillary distance and of the viewing
height by swiveling the eyepiece sockets (see also Sections 3.5 and 3.6) within set limits. The tubes
permit – dependent on the model – the viewing height to be adjusted in a range of 50 mm. Tubes are
available with viewing angles of 15°, 20° or 30°.
−
Used in combination with corresponding adapters, the binocular phototubes allow the installation of a
camera of the user's choice. The optical path is selected by means of a push-pull rod located at the
right side of the tube having two or three operating positions. The binocular phototube 30°/25
(425502-0000-000 and 425501-0000-000) additionally features an eyepiece shutter that is operated
via a second push-pull rod on the left side or via a button on the right-hand side (425506-0000-000,
motorized eyepiece shutter).
