All 82° Series eyepieces are fully multi-coated and edge-blackened to produce maximum contrast.
Using advanced computer design, combinations
of low dispersion and high refractive index optical glasses, and durable
multilayer deposition coatings, Explore Scientific 82° Series™ extreme
wide field eyepieces are optimized to produce high contrast, high
resolution, and superior flat field characteristics.
The visual effect of these eyepieces with
their long eye-relief and their 82° apparent field is truly a
full-immersion experience. Your eye is relaxed, allowing you to easily
use the "averted vision" technique to study faint details across a huge
field-of-view.

Precision
polished eyepiece lenses are lowered into a bath chamber for ultrasonic
cleaning to rid the lenses of dirt or other contaminants prior to the
multi-layer transmission coating process. |
|
Each eyepiece is meticulously assembled into
precision machined metal lens barrels that maintain the perfect
alignment of the optical train for years of rugged use in the field.The
82° Series eyepieces come with a twist-up rubber eye-guard that raise to
the desired height for the comfort of the observer, and as experienced
astronomers know, eye comfort is critical when trying to observe at the
visual limits of the telescope.
To keep internal reflections to a minimum, all
internal surfaces of the eyepiece barrel are flat black, as well as the
edges of the lenses themselves to minimize the scattering of light
within the lenses themselves. |
In today's modern telescope industry
there are many fine companies to choose from manufacturing top quality
eyepieces. We invite direct side-by-side comparison with any other
eyepiece of similar design, and we back our eyepieces with our exclusive
Five Year Limited Warranty.* We think that you will find Explore
Scientific eyepieces rank among the finest obtainable and represent an
outstanding value.
*Limited Warranty is one year, extended to five years when product is registered within 60 days of purchase.

Developing our new eyepieces we wanted
to take a fresh perspective and address several points. Our goal was to
produce an ultra-wide angle design that provides pride of ownership at a
great value:
Focus on Value - We invite direct comparison to any eyepieces on the market in their category.
Protection from the Outdoors
- By making the eyepiece body nitrogen-purged and waterproof eyepiece
internal elements will remain as pristine as the day they were
assembled. The sealed, dry environment is impervious to internal fogging
and contaminants such as fungus growing in between the lens elements.
Our waterproof eyepiece is easier to clean, and there is no risk of
cleaning solution migrating from the top of the lens and seeping around
edges to be trapped in between elements. To insure a perfect seal we
test every eyepiece in one meter of water for 30 minutes.
Creating an Identity
- We look at purchasing fine optical equipment as an investment, and it
should be treated as such. With a unique serial number on each
eyepiece we can track when a product was made, and the owner can
document their equipment for insurance and warranty purposes.
Providing Peace of Mind -
Explore Scientific stands behind our products with a free 5 Year
Transferrable Limited Warranty upon registration of the product. Want to
trade or sell your eyepiece? You’ll get more value if its remaining
warranty can be transferred to the new owner.

Each and every Explore Scientific eyepiece is inspected both at the factory and again at our facilities.
Here we are making final visual and cosmetic inspections where we check
for assembly integrity, cleanliness, and optical performance (including
a test for visual image edge consistancy) before shipping them to our
customers.
