Parfocal: A method of setting up the microscope in order to have similar focal distances for objectives of different magnifications.
Digital Smartcam Technology offers instant camera recognition for consistent, easy image optimization, and an integrated 2x
parfocal optical zoom (14- to 28-mm) provides optimal image size with all telescopes, reducing camera/telescope movement.
The system is fully motorised with microprocessor control, and the lens offers
parfocal selection of five effective focal lengths, four selectable filters and a four-line backlit display of focal length, filter position, focus range and operating status.
Both magnifications are
parfocal (in focus) and telecentric (object size does not change as focus moves through depth of field), features essential for maintaining dimensional accuracy.
The DeLite eyepieces are
parfocal with others in the series, as well as Tele Vue's 1 1/4-inch Plossl, Panoptic, Nagler, and Delos eyepieces, and accept its Dioptrx correctors.
Using the optical formula of the still lens, Tokina engineers have created a lens that is
parfocal, has reduced breathing and image shift, and a de-clicked, 9-bladed, curved iris for precise exposure control.
Each Mega Wide Angle eyepiece incorporates blackened lens edges to enhance contrast, and their
parfocal design requires little or no focus change when switching between eyepieces within the series.
