The Cornerstone of Tele Vue's Reputation.

Since we introduced our Plössls in 1980, they have won praise and patents, including a
patent
in Japan. Tele Vue Plössls, designed by Al Nagler, have been a recognized benchmark of
performance and value in the class of 50 degree apparent field of view eyepieces. While the
Plössls may be our least expensive eyepiece line, they still enjoy the same care and
attention
to detail as our most expensive. While it's easy for other manufacturers to vie for the lowest
price, Tele Vue continues to believe that quality, performance and consistency will ultimately
reward you with the most value for your dollar.

Diffraction limited "on-axis" performance is a given. Using more expensive high-index glasses
to reduce astigmatism and lateral color at the field's edge, Tele Vue Plössls deliver sharper
images than any other brand of 4 or 5 element "Plossl" or Orthoscopic designs. The faster
the
focal ratio of your telescope, the greater your visual reward for using Tele Vue eyepieces. Tele
Vue Plössls feature full multicoatings for greatest light transmission and contrast. Blackened
lens edges and internal anti-reflection threads tweak the last bit of contrast for maximum
image detail. The sharper field focuses faint star light into perceptible points and allows those
with undriven mounts to gaze longer before repositioning the image.

The 55mm focal length has the largest true field possible for 2" eyepiece holders -3 times the
true field area of any 1-1/4" eyepiece. The focal plane is placed at the end of the barrel to
minimize vignetting. 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.

In the 1-1/4" series we included a long eye-relief 40mm focal length in the series with a 43
degree apparent field. Like the 55mm, its focal plane is at the barrel edge for maximum field
in
the 1-1/4" format. The 32mm Plossl, with its larger 50 degree apparent field, will deliver the
same true field as the 40mm but with higher magnification. The 32mm is parfocal with the
shorter focal length Plössls.

The 25mm, 20mm, 15mm, 11mm and 8mm Plössls round out the focal lengths for various
observing from deep sky to planetary. They work best with Tele Vue Powermates to
effectively
double the number of focal lengths in your collection. Far superior to eyepieces usually
provided as standard with most instruments.

For a bit more than generic brands, you can own a genuine Tele Vue Plossl.
