FIELDSCOPES

82ED-S / 82ED-A / 60ED-S / 60ED-A

Sophisticated optical performance provides
a crystal-clear eld of view

True to its regal name, MONARCH brings to its users exciting experiences of new observations.
Advanced apochromat delivers real colour with high resolution and the Field Flattener Lens
System ensures absolutely sharp images throughout the entire eld of view. Nikon’s innovative
technology present to you a breathtaking vision vastly surpassing what the naked eye can see.

Newly designed MONARCH Fieldscope MEP eyepieces deliver high optical
performance

Nikon has developed a lineup of three new eyepieces exclusively for MONARCH Fieldscopes. Each
employs a new optical system, and a Field Flattener Lens System that delivers consistent sharpness and
clarity across the entire field of view. While providing a wide field of view, sufficiently long eye relief is
ensured. Thus, not only do you enjoy peerless viewing — you can also perform collimate photography
with a compact digital camera. When attached to a Fieldscope, each of the three new MEP eyepieces
are waterproof*

, ensuring safe use even during unexpected weather changes.

Advanced Apochromat Optical System with ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass minimises colour
fringing to the furthest limit of the visible light range, realising a contrast-rich, clearer field of view

Nikon’s ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass ensures a contrast-rich and colour-faithful field of view. Redesigning the whole
optical system from the ground up, Advanced Apochromat Optical System corrects not only chromatic aberrations of red,
blue and green but also violet chromatic aberration to the furthest limits of the visible light range. Cutting-edge lens
technology and refined optical design work in synergy to eliminate colour fringing, then deliver outstanding resolving
power. The result is unimaginably sharp, high-contrast views.

Field Flattener Lens System forms sharp images all the way to the periphery

Curvature of field is an aberration that occurs when focusing on the centre of the field of view
causing the periphery to go out of focus or vice versa. Nikon’s Field Flattener Lens System
compensates for this aberration. This advanced lens design provides consistent, edge-to-edge
sharpness while compensating astigmatism and coma aberration at the same time. Observation
can be enjoyed with a sharp and clear image throughout the entire field of view.

Optimised Focusing System for fast focusing

The focus ring of MONARCH Fieldscopes provides different focusing
speeds for optimal operation: fine focus adjustment for distant subjects
and coarser adjustment for nearby subjects. Less stressful, smooth
focusing enables you to securely capture your target faster.

Body design for comfortable observation

The body, which features a highly robust aluminium alloy, provides
reliability and ease of operation. The new knurling pattern on the
focusing ring enhances its operability. Also, a Type 1 Bayonet Mount with
locking system makes eyepiece attachment/detachment easy and secure.

MEP-30-60W: A wide field of view and high resolving power throughout the entire zoom range

This zoom-type eyepiece with a zoom range from 30x to 60x*2 realises ultra-high optical performance. With an
advanced optical design, it corrects image distortions while maintaining a wide field of view over the whole zoom
range. What’s more, the sharp and clear images from edge to edge are equivalent to those of non-zoom eyepieces.

MEP-20-60: Comfortable viewing with ease of use

The versatile 20x-60x*2 zoom-type eyepiece with long eye relief provides sufficient angle of view for the entire zoom
range. Chromatic aberrations are well corrected even at high magnifications. The peripheral flatness of sharp images
is also ensured, for clear viewing throughout the zoom range.

Multilayer coating for natural colour fidelity

Multilayer coating is applied to all lens and prism surfaces, allowing powerful light transmission. The
resulting bright field of view delivers true-to-life natural colours. Coating also greatly reduces the flare and
ghosting that can occur in backlit situations.

The straight-type models use a Porro prism while the angled-type
models employ Nikon’s original total reflection prism. Since all
reflective surfaces are completely reflective without any loss of light,
a bright and vivid view is achieved.

Waterproof performance for inclement weather

All models can be used without worrying about changing weather conditions in the natural environment.
The MONARCH Fieldscope bodies are waterproof*, sealed with O-rings and packing seals that make them
airtight. In addition, the body is filled with nitrogen gas to prevent fog due to sudden temperature changes.

*Waterproof (up to 1 m/3.3 ft for 10 minutes) (NOT designed for underwater usage)

MEP-38W: Superb image quality and outstandingly wide field of view

This 38x*2 magnification eyepiece offers an amazingly clear image. The wide 66.4 degree apparent field of view
combines with 18.5 mm long eye relief. Curvature of field and astigmatism are optimally corrected to produce
uniformly high resolution from the centre to the periphery.

• MONARCH Fieldscope MEP eyepieces employ Type 1 Bayonet Mount. Other eyepieces cannot be used for MONARCH Fieldscopes.

Digiscoping system with MONARCH Fieldscopes

By using a bracket or adapter, a compatible Nikon camera can be attached to a MONARCH Fieldscope.
Coupled with a Nikon 1 Advanced Camera with interchangeable lenses or a COOLPIX compact digital camera,
a MONARCH Fieldscope lets you enjoy super-telephoto photography.
