All about optics
With its angled view, the ATX eyepiece module helps you to comfortably seek out your target. It also makes long-range observation significantly easier, especially when your subject is located in the sky, in a tree, or on a hill.
Objective lens diameterThe objective lens diameter specifies how much light can enter the optics. This makes it a key factor in an instrument’s performance, for example, in twilight. The bigger the objective lens diameter, the more light the objective lens can capture. The darker the surroundings, the larger the objective lens diameter needs to be. Check the precise product name as the number after the ‘x’ specifies the objective lens diameter in millimeters. For example, a device with the suffix 10x42 has an objective lens with a diameter of 42 mm.

Variable magnification Variable magnification makes it possible to adjust the magnification flexibly within a specific range. In contrast to fixed magnification, it allows you to zoom from the lower value to the higher value. However, as the magnification increases, the field of view, i.e. the image section, becomes smaller. Check the precise product name as the number in front of the ‘x’ specifies the magnification. For example, 30-70x95 is a device with a variable magnification from 30x to 70x.
Field of viewThe field of view describes the size of the image section that can be seen through the optics. This is specified either in meters (width) at a distance of 1000 meters (m/1000m), or feet (width) at a distance of 1000 yards (ft/1000 yds), or as an angle (degrees). The higher the magnification, the smaller the field of view.
Binoculars have a large field of view, which means you can see a wide area. Spotting scopes have a higher magnification, which makes the field of view much smaller, but you can see more detail.
Weight The weight specifies how heavy or light the device is (in grams or ounces). Do you intend to do a lot of walking? Lightweight equipment is a priority in this case.

ATX eyepiece modulePrice from €2,600My father taught me to recognize birds when I was a child, and he used a Swarovski binocular that he later gave to me. Since that day, I’ve always used products from this brand—I consider it "part of the family." I used to use them as a hobby, now for work. Since I was a child, I’ve been fascinated by animals and the environments they live in. I’ve always been interested in birds, and eventually, it became my job. I study birds in the Venice Lagoon and the Po Delta. I’m fascinated by their migrations. I collect data on ringed birds, and thanks to the ATX, I read over 400 rings a year.
Mio padre mi ha insegnato da piccolo ha riconoscere gli uccelli ed usava un binocolo Swarovski che successivamente mi ha regalato, da quel giorno ho sempre usato i prodotti di questa marca, la considero "di famiglia". Prima li utilizzavo per hobby ora per lavoro. Fin da piccolo mi attraevano gli animali e gli ambienti dove vivevano. Mi sono interessato agli uccelli da sempre. Poi è diventato un lavoro. Studio gli uccelli nella Laguna di Venezia e nel Delta del Po. Sono affascinato dalle migrazioni che compiono. Raccolgo dati sugli uccelli marcati con anelli, grazie all' ATX leggo oltre 400 anelli l'anno.
Zoom slightly sluggish
At 60x-70x magnification, it gets difficult to view due to reduced field angle.
I’ve ran Vortex and Leopold spotting scopes and hands down Swarovski is the best in glass, smoothness of adjustments, and low light visibility.
I had the STX eyepiece but wanted the option of using the ATX. It was so easy to swap the eyepieces and the quality of the optics is excellent. I’m looking forward to using this new eyepiece to follow raptors in flight!
