Meade? Series 4000?
8mm - 24mm Zoom Eyepieces
1.25" Eyepiece Tube Diameter
|
| |
|
High-resolution optics that realize the full
potential of the zoom format. |
|
|
|
 |
For years zoom eyepieces were regarded as
?convenient,? but without the optical resolution required in demanding astronomical applications. The
Meade Series 4000 Zoom Eyepiece has changed that impression ? completely and forever. |
| |
Because, finally, this is a zoom eyepiece designed for the advanced
amateur astronomer who is uncompromising in his or her optical performance specifications. Performance
is fully consistent with the finest fixed focal length eyepieces. The Meade Series 4000 Zoom is an excellent addition to telescopes of all types, brands, and
price levels, whether 60mm refractor, 8" Dobsonian, 90mm ETX, or 12" LX200 Schmidt-Cassegrain.
Conceived by one of the world?s leading designers of photo-optical
instruments, this 7- element system provides an apparent field of 40? at the 24mm setting, increasing
continuously to a 55? field at 8mm. The internal zoom optics move on smooth, precisely machined
surfaces which maintain optical collimation at all zoom settings. A scale graduated in 1mm units
indicates the zoom focal length in operation. All lenses are multi-coated for maximum light
transmission and image contrast, while minimizing internal reflections. The chromed brass barrel is
threaded for filters
With its high-eyepoint optics and foldable rubber eyecup the Meade
Series 4000 Zoom Eyepiece is comfortably usable by eyeglass wearers; even with eyeglasses the entire
field of view is easily observable. |

Meade? Series 4000?
2x Apochromatic Barlow Lens
1.25" Eyepiece Tube Diameter
|
|
|
|
Exclusive Meade 3-element, air-spaced design |
|
|
|
#140 2x Apochromatic Barlow Lens
The most advanced Barlow lens yet developed for commercial telescopes,
the Meade #140 2x Apochromatic Barlow includes a 3-element, air-spaced telenegative lens unmatched in
image resolution, contrast, and color correction.
Used with any telescope ? refractor, reflector, or Schmidt- Cassegrain
? equipped with a focuser accepting standard 1.25" barrel-diameter eyepieces, the #140 Barlow doubles
the telescope?s effective focal length, thereby doubling the effective eyepiece magnification. With a
diagonal mirror or prism placed between the Barlow and an eyepiece (e.g., in applications with
refractors or Schmidt-Cassegrains), effective eyepiece magnification is approximately tripled.
The #140 optically complements Meade Series 4000 eyepieces, while
enhancing the performance of other eyepieces as well. Mechanical components are of machined aluminum
and brass. Lens diameter is 28mm; clear aperture is 26mm.
The multi-coated optics of the #140 Barlow provide maximum light
transmission and image contrast. Thousands of these Meade Barlow systems are now in use by advanced
amateurs worldwide. There is no finer Barlow available. |
