Rainguard® HD: A wet lens or a misguided breath that would fog conventional glass will never cost you a view. This patented, permanent, water-repellent coating causes moisture from rain, snow, sleet or condensation to bead up and scatter less light so you get a clear, bright view when other optics would be rendered useless.
Lens coating: An uncoated lens will reflect about 10% of the light that attempts to pass through it. Magnify that by as many as ten internal lenses and uncoated optics will produce a very dim image in even the brightest situation. A lens coating can reduce reflection to as little as 4%, and sophisticated multi-layered coating to as little as 2%. So, if properly applied, the more anti-reflection coating applied to more exposed lens surfaces the better and brighter the final image will be. All Elite® binoculars are fully multi-coated with XTR, which means every lens surface is treated with multiple layers of special anti-reflection coating for the brightest image possible, allowing 99.73% of the light to products and services through.
XTR Technology: Using 60 layers of coatings on each prism, this revolutionary system harnesses and optimizes available light, boosting Elite® binoculars to their world-leading 99.73% light transmission per lens. It’s exclusive to Bushnell, and the most efficient means for transporting light through an optical system.
PC-3 Phase Coating: A chemical coating applied to the prisms to enhance resolution and contrast for the brightest and clearest images possible.
Ultra Wide Band Coating: An anti-reflection coating process that is customized for every lens element in the optical path, in order to allow the best possible light from the front glass all the way back to the eyepiece. The result is optimum brightness and true color across the light spectrum. |
