Specifications

Here are the detailed technical specifications for the Leica Ultravid 10x32 HD-Plus :

Features

The Leica Ultravid 10x32 HD-Plus is packed with features that contribute to its superior performance and user experience.

Optical Excellence

• SCHOTT HT Glass: Specially formulated glass increases light transmission, especially in the blue-violet band, improving colour fidelity and enhancing low-light performance .

• HDC™ and AquaDura® Coatings: The High Durable Coating (HDC) on the lenses is scratch and abrasion-resistant. The hydrophobic AquaDura coating causes water and oil to bead off the lenses, ensuring a clear view and making cleaning easier in bad weather .

• Phase-Correcting P40 and HighLux-System HLS™: These prism coatings virtually eliminate chromatic aberration and enhance colour rendition and contrast for bright, clear, high-contrast images across the entire field of view .

• Wide 67° Apparent Angle of View: This provides an immersive viewing experience and helps compensate for the natural hand-shake associated with 10x magnification, allowing for steady, comfortable observation without the need for a harness .

Handling and Design

• Lightweight and Robust Construction: The chassis is made from a lightweight yet durable magnesium alloy, with a high-tensile titanium center hinge axle for long-lasting reliability .

• Smooth Central Focusing: The internal focusing mechanism operates via a central focusing device. It is lubrication-free and uses PETP-Discs to provide fast, precise, and smooth movement across a broad operating temperature range .

• Automatic Diopter Compensation ADC™: This feature automatically compensates for any differences in vision between your eyes for a consistently sharp image .

• Twist-Out Eyecups with Click-Stops: The eyepieces are designed for eyeglass wearers, with removable, twist-out eyecups that feature four click-stop settings to find the perfect eye relief .

• Ergonomic Design: Protective rubber armoring and ergonomic thumb indents on the bottom provide a comfortable, slip-resistant grip .

Durability and Weather Resistance

• Nitrogen-Filled and Waterproof: The optical tubes are nitrogen-filled to be fog-proof and are sealed to be waterproof to a depth of 5 meters (16.5 feet), making them ready for use in all weather conditions .
