The Opticron Explorer WA ED-R Monocular is a versatile optical instrument designed for a range of activities, from travel and sporting events to birdwatching and astronomy. It is available in three models: 8x32, 8x42, and 10x42, offering different magnifications and objective lens diameters to suit various viewing needs.
The monocular's primary function is to provide magnified views of distant objects, offering a clear and sharp image through its optical system. It is designed for single-hand use, making it convenient for quick observations. The "WA" in its name likely stands for "Wide Angle," indicating a broad field of view, while "ED-R" suggests the use of Extra-low Dispersion glass with a specific coating for enhanced image quality, reducing chromatic aberration and improving color fidelity.
The specifications vary slightly across the three models:
These specifications highlight that the 8x32 model is the most compact and lightest, while the 8x42 and 10x42 models offer larger objective lenses, which generally translate to brighter images, especially in low-light conditions. The close focus distance is quite good across all models, allowing for observation of nearby subjects.
The Opticron Explorer WA ED-R Monocular incorporates several features designed for user convenience and optimal viewing experience:
Proper care and cleaning are essential to maintain the performance and longevity of the monocular.
