State-of-the-Art Construction for Lasting Clarity

Explore Scientific's commitment to excellence is evident in the 68° Series Eyepiece's sophisticated design. The argon-purged body ensures protection against internal fogging and contaminants, such as fungus, guaranteeing the optics remain pristine over time. The choice of argon over nitrogen provides superior preservation of the eyepiece's internal elements, thanks to argon's larger atomic volume and greater inertness.

Designed for the Observational Enthusiast

Whether braving the elements for a night of stargazing or conducting detailed planetary studies, this eyepiece is built to perform. Its waterproof construction makes cleaning hassle-free, and the rigorous testing process, including submersion in water, ensures each eyepiece is sealed perfectly.
