8 mm Radian Eyepiece

TeleVue - 8mm Radian Eyepiece

The long eye relief (20mm)
and fairly large (and well corrected) apparent field of view of 60
degrees make the Radian a pleasure to use for planetary and
other high power observing. Sharpness is comparable to all but
the best orthoscopics.

It has Instadjust was developed for maximizing contrast while aiding in proper eye positioning for non-eyeglass wearers. It is essential, since with the Radian's long eye-relief, non-eyeglass wearers could easily get too close to the eyepiece, resulting in vignetting where edge field rays miss your pupil. The push-pull, click-stop adjustment permits fast positioning and maximum suppression of environmental stray light.
Another unique development is the Pupil Guide. It helps non-eyeglass wearers, especially novices, zero-in and stay centered on the exit pupil. The Pupil Guide is included with all Radian and Nagler Type 4s and fits under the soft, fold-down rubber eyeguard
