Binocular. A binocular consists of two optical systems that are joined by a hinge and (typically) share a common focusing mechanism. The ability to create an image for both eyes simultaneously provides a realistic perception of depth. Binoculars are available in a great variety of sizes, magnifying powers and features to suit any purpose or preference.

Refers to the size of the circle of light visible at the eyepiece of a binocular. The larger the exit pupil, the brighter the image. To determine the size, divide the objective lens diameter by the power (an 8x 32 model has an exit pupil of 4mm).
Eye Relief
The distance a binocular can be held away from the eye and still present the full field of view. Extended or long eye relief reduces eyestrain and is ideal for eyeglass wearers.

water drops from rain, snow, sleet and even
your own breath, reducing them into much smaller droplets. These tiny drops scatter less light, ensuring a clearer, brighter view.
Resolution
Resolution, or definition, is the ability of a binocular to distinguish fine detail and retain clarity.

Magnification (Power)
Binoculars are often referred to by two numbers separated by an “x”. For example: 8x 32. The first number is the power, or magnification, of the binocular. With an 8x 32 binocular, the object being
viewed appears to be eight times closer 7x12x than you would see it with the unaided eye.
Objective Lens
The second number in the formula (8x 32mm) is the diameter of the objective or front lens measured in millimeters. The larger the objective lens, the more light that enters the binocular and the brighter the image.
Waterproof/Fogproof
Some binoculars are
The interior optical surfaces won’t fog due to rapid temperature change or humidity.
XTR® Technology
As light passes through the many prisms and lenses of a roof- prism binocular, some light is usually lost along the way. Our exclusive new XTR technology – utilizing 60 layers of coatings on each prism – conserves, harnesses and optimizes the
available light. XTR delivers an amazing 99.73% light transmission per lens for a combined light transmission of 90%, making the Bushnell Elite® series
the brightest binocular in its class.
