A basic overview of monoculars and binoculars
Monoculars and binoculars are common optical instruments used to observe celestial bodies, field scenery, and observe racing cars. Monoculars have only one tube, high magnification, narrow field of view, so it is suitable for observing objects such as mountains and tall buildings in long distances. Binoculars have two mirrors, the magnification is smaller but the field of view is wider, so it is suitable for observation in close proximity to visit exhibitions, sports games and so on.
Second, the difference in the number of tubes
A monocular telescope has only one tube, so you can only see with one eye. Binoculars have two mirrors, together with the use of both eyes, you can observe a wider field of view, and more suitable for observing objects at close range.
Three, the difference in magnification
The magnification of monoculars is higher than that of binoculars, generally ranging from 8 times to 20 times, so it is suitable for observing objects such as mountains and tall buildings over long distances. The magnification of binoculars is generally low, between 3 and 10 times, although you can not see so far away objects, but the field of view is wide, can be used to observe close-range scenery, people or vehicles.
Fourth, the difference in the width of the field of view
Because the magnification of the monoculars is higher, the field of view is narrower, generally only a few degrees, and accurate aiming must be carried out in order to observe the object you really want to see. Binoculars have a wide field of view, generally about 10 degrees to 20 degrees, which is more convenient to observe, and you can easily find the object you want to observe and quickly track the movement of the object.
Five, the choice of telescope skills
When selecting a telescope, you should select it according to your own requirements and use scenarios. If you need to observe long-distance distant mountains, tall buildings and other objects, you can choose a higher magnification of the monoculars; If you need to observe exotic events, sports games and natural landscapes, you can choose binoculars with a wider field of view.
Vi. Summary
Although the monoculars and binoculars have their own characteristics, they can help us to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery and colorful cultural landscape. Choosing the right telescope is very important, so that we can make the observation process more convenient. I hope this article can provide some reference and help for you to choose a telescope.
