You've probably noticed that most binoculars are described by two numbers separated by an x, 8x42, for example. That first number is the magnification (more on that in a second), and the second number is the size (in millimeters) of the objective (front) lens. The size of the objective lens largely determines the overall size of the binoculars, so that second number essentially describes their size. It wasn't until the middle of the 19th century that people started using prisms. The first prisms used were the pro prism, invented by Ignazio Porro. The Porro prism allowed for the long focal length of the Keplerian Optics by folding the optical path. By combining two pro prisms, it increased the focal length while flipping and righting the object. This allowed for a more compact and manageable size. The double Porro prism gives most older binoculars that classical look. Arrange the numbers one on top of the other and line up the place values in columns. The number with the most digits is usually placed on top as the multiplicand. When out on the water, a rugged, waterproof design is essential. Low magnification will make it easier to see on a pitching boat. A magnification of 7x to 8x should do just fine. You will also want a larger objective lens. Look for an objective lens that is equal to or greater than 35mm. Suggested size: 7X50. Astronomy

The second problem posed by larger magnifications is a narrower field of view. While it's unlikely you're going to find a bird or other critter that won't fit in even a 12x pair of binoculars' field of view, getting that critter framed in your binoculars is another story. While it seems simple, seeing something and then raising binoculars up to your face and getting them trained on that exact thing is a skill in and of itself. Beginners often have trouble getting a bird within their binocular's line of sight, even when they can clearly see where it is with the naked eye. A wider field of view is more forgiving in such circumstances. You will get better at this the more you use binoculars. It is very common for birders to get an 8x pair as their first binoculars and then a 10x or even 12x pair as their second. The X-35A was converted into the X-35B for the STOVL part of the competition. It now resides at the National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, near Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia. [28] Diopter is the adjustment that allows you to match your individual eye strength. This allows a sharp image in both barrels of the binoculars if you have eyes with differing clarity of vision. Note, only one side (or barrel) of the binocular has a diopter adjustment. To adjust your diopter, use the following instructions: Twilight factor is computed by multiplying the objective lens diameter by the magnification and then taking the square root of this product. Thus an 8x42mm binocular has a product of 336 (8x42=336). The square root of this is 18.33 (√336=18.33). This number may seem reasonable when comparing an 8x42 pair of binoculars with a twilight factor of 18.33 with an 8x25 pair with a twilight factor of 14.14. The twilight factor really only comes to play when looking for binoculars to use during twilight or for astronomy. Again, this formula also doesn't consider the optical quality that has a tremendous impact on the perceived brightness of the optics. The larger the objective lens, the more light that can get into the binoculars, and thus the brighter the image. Larger objective lenses also make the binoculars themselves larger and heavier. You'll want to find a balance between brightness and portability that works for you.

Uses

Data from Air Force Magazine, [30] Aviation Week & Space Technology, [31] [32] Flight International, [33] Aerospace America [34] Bypass air from the cruise engine medium-bypass turbofan compressor stages exhausted through a pair of roll-post nozzles in the wings on either side of the fuselage, while the thrust from the lift fan balanced the thrust of the hot core stream exhausting through vectored cruise nozzle at the tail. The X-35B powerplant effectively acted as a flow multiplier, much as a turbofan achieves efficiencies by moving unburned air at a lower velocity, and getting the same effect as the Harrier's huge, but supersonically impractical main fan. [20] When you've multiplied the ones digit by every digit in the top number, move to the tens digit in the bottom number. Armor is an outer coating of rubber or synthetic material. This protects the binoculars from scratches and corrosion. It can also make the binoculars easier to hold. A rubber coating does not make a pair of binoculars waterproof. Variable-speed focus allows rapid turning of the knob to yield coarse adjustment, while slow turning yields fine adjustment. This system works very well but takes time to get used to. The use of two separate focusing knobs, one for coarse and one for fine focusing, can also be used, though uncommon.

I try to do this sparingly because you really never know if there is a tiny grain of something on the lens that will scratch. I have taken waterproof models and dunked them before wiping them down, but this is still a risky thing. Do you have any advice on how to keep your binoculars safe and clean when in the field? Exit Pupil: Magnification and the size of the objective lens determines the size of the exit pupil. You can see the exit pupil by holding the binoculars at arm's length and looking at the eyepiece. That round dot of light is the exit pupil. To compute the exit pupil, you divide the diameter of the objective lens in millimeters by the magnification. For our 8X42 binoculars, we would divide the objective lens 42mm by the magnification 8, or 42/8 for an exit pupil of 5.25. If we look at a pair of compact binoculars, say a pair of 8x25, we would have an exit pupil of 8/25=3.125. I would not compromise the magnification or lens size in the correct ratio. However, waterproofing is equally important for anything I have done. What type of strap do you use and why? Long multiplication means you're doing multiplication by hand. The traditional method, or Standard Algorithm, involves multiplying numbers and lining up results according to place value. These are the steps to do long multiplication by hand:The first is the F-35A, a conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant. It is the smallest and lightest version, and is intended primarily to replace the U.S. Air Force's aging F-16 Fighting Falcons and A-10 Thunderbolt IIs. This is the only version with an internal gun, the GAU-22. The F-35B is the short-takeoff and vertical-landing (STOVL) variant due to replace the U.S. Marine Corps AV-8 Harrier IIs and F/A-18 Hornets, and Royal Air Force/ Royal Navy Harrier GR7/GR9s beginning in 2015. Deflection and stress, moment of inertia, section modulus and technical information of beams and columns. Eye Relief is the distance the eyepiece of a binocular can be held away from the eye and still present the full field of view. This is important because longer eye relief reduces eye strain and makes it easier for people who wear glasses. The longer eye relief would provide a full field of view for someone who wears eyeglasses. A rule of thumb is, if you wear glasses, you'll need at least 15mm of eye relief. Surprisingly magnification is not too big a deal for large, stargazing models. Seeing as those stars are literally light-years away, you likely won't notice the difference between 10x and 12x. These bins are meant for gathering light and making things brighter rather than bringing them closer. If you really want to feel close to the cosmos, you'll have to go with a telescope (or fill your phone with Neil deGrasse Tyson podcasts). Glossary of Terms
