Explore Scientific G600 ED Series 10x42 Binoculars

A premium 10x42 binocular with ED glass and dielectric phase-corrected BaK-4 prisms: more magnification than the 8x42 for pulling distant subjects closer while ED optics keep the image sharp and free of chromatic aberration.

The 10x magnification delivers 25% more reach than 8x in the same compact 42mm body, ideal for birders who glass across open fields, scan distant tree lines, or identify raptors in flight. ED glass reduces purple fringing at high-contrast edges, so fine details like feather barring and wing markings stay crisp and color-true. Fully multi-coated lenses and dielectric phase-corrected prisms maximize brightness.

Nitrogen-purged and rated IPX7 waterproof for reliable performance in rain, fog, and coastal environments. The tripod socket is especially useful at 10x, where a stable platform helps extract the full resolution of the optics during extended viewing.
