Carson 10x42 3D Series TD-042ED Binocularsfeature an array of optical technologies to produce a device that is ideally suited for birding, hunting, or hiking. Their optical performance begins with phase-corrected BAK4 roof prisms to enhance image color fidelity, contrast, and resolution. Next, they employ extra-low dispersion glass that corrects chromatic and spherical aberrations to enhance image clarity, and further increase contrast and color definition. Carson then applies their proprietary HD (high-definition) optical coating to fully multicoat the optical path for improved light transmission which ensures bright, sharp images, especially in low-light conditions.

Rubberized mossy oak camo armor makes this 3D Binoculars rugged and shock resistant. Thumb grooves on the under-side of the optical tubes and texture hand-holds make for a pleasant, non-slip, ergonomic grip. The body is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed, making them waterproof and fogproof. The TD-042ED combines twist-up eyecups with a long eye relief, resulting in a great combination for long duration observation sessions with or without eye wear.

A: The 3D Series ED has extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass elements with a nitrogen-filled housing to create a versatile optic that delivers a bright, sharp image and weatherproof performance. At the core of these general purpose binoculars is a fully multi-coated optical path that utilizes ED lenses to transmit bright images that are color faithful and contrast-rich. To preserve image quality and maximize the color fidelity provided by the ED glass, Carson outfits its 3D Series binoculars with phase-corrected BAK4 prisms engineered to align the incoming wavelengths of light and retain lifelike details. The 3D-Series TD just has standard optical glass.
