Types of Binoculars
Bresser Junior binoculars come in three main designs:
Galilean Binoculars
Diagram Description: Features two parallel tubes connected by a central bridge. This design is often simpler and more compact.
Roof Binoculars
Diagram Description: The optical tubes are in a straight line, offset from each other and connected by a central bridge. This design is more compact and offers a straight-through optical path.
Porro Binoculars
Diagram Description: The optical tubes are offset from each other, with the objective lenses positioned wider apart than the eyepieces, connected by a central bridge. This design offers a classic, three-dimensional view.
Operation and Usage
Eye Distance Adjustment
The distance between your eyes (interpupillary distance) varies. Adjust your binoculars before use:
Instructions: Hold the binoculars in both hands in front of your eyes. Fold the binoculars along the central hinge until you see a single, circular field of view (Diagram: Two separate circles becoming one circle).
Focusing
Instructions: Find an object more than 10 meters away. Close your right eye (or cover it). Turn the central focusing wheel to achieve a sharp image for your left eye (Diagram: Blurry image of a bird sharpens with an arrow indicating adjustment).
Diopter Adjustment (Roof/Porro Models)
Instructions: Once your left eye is focused, close your left eye. Adjust the diopter ring (usually on the right eyepiece) to focus the image for your right eye (Diagram: Shows adjustment dial with '+' and '-' markings).
Eyecups
Rubber Eyecups: These can be folded down, especially useful for eyeglass wearers to achieve a better view (Diagram: Eyecup folding down).
TwistUp Eyecups: These can be twisted to adjust for optimal viewing, particularly for eyeglass wearers (Diagram: Eyecup twisting upwards).
Mounting on a Tripod
If your binoculars have a threaded tripod connection:
Instructions: A tripod adapter (sold separately, e.g., Art. No. 1916000 or 1916500) is required. Attach the adapter to the binoculars and then mount onto a tripod with a compatible thread (e.g., DIN mounting thread, Art. No. 4922500) (Diagram: Binoculars with adapter being attached).
Cleaning and Care
- Clean lenses (eyepieces and objectives) only with a soft, lint-free cloth, such as microfiber.
- Apply gentle pressure to avoid scratching the lenses.
- For stubborn dirt, slightly moisten the cloth with eyeglass cleaning solution.
- Protect the device from dust and moisture.
- After use, especially in high humidity, allow the binoculars to acclimatize to room temperature to dissipate residual moisture before storing.
