Tele Vue 55mm Plossl 2" Eyepiece

The Tele Vue 55mm Plossl has the largest true field possible for a 2-inch eyepiece, and 3 times the true field area of any 1.25-inch eyepiece. The focal plane is placed at the end of the barrel to minimize vignetting. The performance with Schmidt-Cassegrains is remarkable since it avoids the image degradation and severe vignetting which occurs when using telecompressors. Long eye-relief and unique adjustable eyeguard for eyeglass wearers. 

Each Tele Vue Plossl eyepiece is made with high-index glass and is fully multi-coated for superb light transmission and image contrast. Regardless of which focal length you choose, be assured that Tele Vue takes as much care with its entry-level Plossl's as they do with eyepieces costing hundreds of dollars more. 

Diffraction limited "on-axis" performance is a given with all Tele Vue Plossl eyepieces. Using more expensive high-index glasses to reduce astigmatism and lateral color at the field's edge, Tele Vue Plössl eyepieces deliver sharper images than any other brand of 4 or 5-element "Plossl" or Orthoscopic design. Tele Vue Plössl eyepieces also feature full multi-coatings for greatest light transmission and contrast. Blackened lens edges and internal anti-reflection threads tweak the last bit of contrast for maximum image detail.
