Binoculars

 



Kowa’s roof prism binoculars use the Schmidt-Pechan prism. One surface of the Pechan prism does not provide total reflection, so we have applied a highly reflective multi-coating called C3 coating. This allows for a higher reflectivity than with silver or optically enhanced aluminum, offering a reflectance of 99% or higher across the entire visible spectrum (400 to 700 nm). Not only does this provide bright and sharp images, but accurate color reproduction is also achieved. Furthermore, the roof prism of the Schmidt prism is phase coated to prevent the loss of contrast and image resolution.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Genesis XD 44 Series

This is the first Kowa full size binocular to use the PROMINAR brand name, utilizing four XD lenses. These high performance binoculars use the technology of the TSN-880/770 series spotting scopes and pair XD lenses with convex lenses made of glass with special dispersion properties to reduce chromatic aberration to a further degree. This advanced technology creates a bright image with high contrast and remarkable color reproduction that can not be duplicated by a normal achromatic lens.
