Step 4What's in it??
Each monocular contains:
Achromatic objective. Corrected for basic image faults.
2 tiny prisms in an assembly: this turns the image from upside down to normal.
A nice 'Kellner'- design eyepiece. very nice to be used as telescope or microscope eyepiece.
The expensive ' wide field' eyepieces sold for microscopy are often Kellners. The field is about 60 degrees.
The focusing mechanism of each monocular is connected to the focusing bridge with a tiny protrusion near the front. This would move the objective lens up and down. This protrusion part can now be unscrewed.
You can fold the rubber part of the eyepiece back from the aluminum ring which separates the rubber cover of the eyepiece and that of the body to be able to take out the eyepiece. An aluminum tube now appears. 5 small screws hold the eyepiece assembly and the erecting prisms.
When this is unscrewed, the eyepiece assembly can be taken out. The erecting prism assembly comes out separated from the eyepiece. Pull the rubber back.
After this is done, The rubber cover can be turned back from the front. The objective lens, in a plastic mount, can be pushed out. Carefully wipe the abundant grease away, it is a pain to clean it from the optics!!
