The first number in the binoculars’ model number represents the magnification. It specifies how much larger an object appears compared to when viewed with the naked eye.

Relates to the beam of light emitted by the eyepiece. The exit pupil is closely associated with the brightness of a pair of binoculars.

The interpupillary distance indicates how far the eyepieces or tubes can be pushed together or pulled apart. This is an important indication, since each person has a different interpupillary distance.

Coatings on optical surfaces have the job of minimising annoying reflections. In this way light transmission and contrast is increased.

Ensures high resolution and good contrast.

The eyecups are located on the eyepieces and protect they eyes from stray light.

Watertight optics are equipped with special seals and are gas-purged. This is usually with nitrogen or argon gas. Since these gases are heavier than air, they cannot escape.

The visible field in meters, that can be seen from a distance of 1,000 meters. This information is often more easily visualised as an angular measurement.

Used to compare binoculars’ performance in low light conditions. The higher the number, the more suitable it is for twilight. However, the value should always be considered in connection with the exit pupil.
