binoculars for all terrains with shockproof rubber coating and anti-slip studs.
features : • optics treated with multi-coated anti-reflective finish. • twist eyecups suitable for eyeglass wearers. • nut for tripod mounting at the front of the axis. • exit pupil diameter : 4. 2 mm (the larger this diameter is, the more comfortable observation will be in low light) • twilight factor : 20. 5 - brightness : 27. 6
supplied with case, strap and lens cloth. calculation of the twilight factor : square root of the product of the magnification and the diameter. for 8x42 binoculars, it is therefore the square root of 8x42, that is the root of 336 = 18,3.
the higher the twilight factor, the better. indeed, the higher this factor is and the more details will be perceived. there is yet another criterion for binocular clarity : brightness.
brightness is obtained by squaring the diameter of the exit pupil (42/8=5,25 mm), that is by multiplying it by itself. in our example, the relative brightness is : 5,25 x 5,25 = 27,6. the higher this value is, the better. when it is below 15, the binoculars are mainly suited to daytime use.
binoculars showing a twilight factor above 25 can be called night binoculars. the limit is however blurred. a high twilight factor combined with low brightness (12x40 binoculars have a twilight factor of 21,9 but a brightness of 11,1) will be difficult to handle.
