What do you think of these microscope eyepieces made to fit telescopes? For instance, they have one that costs 500 Euros, is a 16mm with a 62 deg. FOV. What would make someone buy that over a Nagler, for instance? It's my understanding that all modern microscope eyepieces are made to work with "infinity focus" microscope objects so how do these microscope eyepieces gel with a telescope? In the past, one way to vastly improve a microscope's performance was to put an telescope's orthoscopic eyepiece in it in place of the microscope eyepiece. Result was in most cases a wider, better corrected and flatter FOV than with even compound microscope eyepieces. I've no prejudices against using eyepieces from another "specialty" for a telescope, I'll use whatever works, including a barlow I have that was made with a negative achromat from an eye testing machine! But in the past I've seen where certain spotting scope eyepieces had been mated to astronomical telescopes with less than desirable results. -Rich |
