Extra low -dispersion glass Extra low-dispersion glass aligns the colors to meet at the same focal plane to reduce the chromatic aberration and obtain the highest resolution and image contrast. What is Extra-Low Dispersion Glass? Dispersion is a mesure of how widely colors are spread out by the prism when light passes through it. Cooler colors in the spectrum such as blues have shorter wavelengths and are bent the most, so they hit the eye at a different interval than warmer colors, which creates a chromatic aberration or abnormality. Visually, this appears as a blue or violet halo around objects. Extra-Low Dispersion glass alleviates this by delivering all wavelengths to the eye at the same time, resulting in the spectrum of light screen simultaneously in sharp, crisp contrast. Large eyepiece The extra large eyepiece makes short or long-term observation more comfortable than ever.
