Explore Scientific Diagonal Mirror 76,2mm/3" Product description

  1. Superior Light Transmission: Equipped with advanced dielectric coatings, this diagonal mirror achieves an impressive 99% reflectivity across the visible spectrum. This ensures a brighter image and delivers maximum light to your eye for stunning views of celestial objects.

  2. Robust Carbon Fiber Construction: The housing is crafted from high-quality carbon fiber, known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and thermal stability. This construction minimizes mirror shift due to temperature changes, maintaining optical alignment and consistent performance during observation.

  3. Wide Field Capability: With its generous 3-inch (76.2mm) clear aperture, this diagonal is specifically designed to accommodate large, wide-field eyepieces. It prevents vignetting, allowing you to experience the full potential of your telescope’s expansive field of view.

  4. Versatile Compatibility: While its primary connection is a 3-inch barrel for high-end focusers, it includes a precision-machined 2-inch adapter. This allows seamless integration with both 3-inch and common 2-inch astronomical eyepieces, offering great flexibility to the observer.

ABOUT THE Explore Scientific Diagonal Mirror 76,2mm/3"

The Explore Scientific 3-inch diagonal mirror (76.2mm) stands out due to its exceptionally large aperture and advanced optical design, making it ideal for astronomical observation, especially for achieving exceptionally wide field views with compatible telescopes. Unlike smaller diagonals, its generous 3-inch optical path allows for the maximum possible light throughput from large eyepieces, preventing vignetting and ensuring a brighter, more immersive viewing experience. It features premium dielectric coatings that achieve an outstanding 99% reflectivity across the visible spectrum, delivering images with superior brightness, contrast, and color fidelity. The robust carbon fiber housing provides excellent thermal stability and reduces weight, ensuring consistent optical performance even during long observing sessions. This diagonal is designed for serious observers seeking to maximize the potential of their high-end telescopes, particularly for deep-sky objects where every photon counts. Using original accessories and spare parts is crucial for prolonged product lifetime and optical integrity, maintaining the peak performance of your investment.
