Did you evar look through your binocular head and see twice as much of the same thing. You have double image..

  • One possible solution for double image or double vision is to remove each eyepiece and shake them gently. If you here the lenses moving inside- tighten up the lens retainers for the eyepieces (make sure the lenses are not slanted inside - they will crack)- reshake the eyepieces and check the image for singularity while looking at a specimen with the 10x objective. The lenses on slant might be causing double image.

  • Some binoculars have tubes that screw on to the prism box of the binocular head. One might be loose - on a slight tilt - causing the bouble image. Hand tighten the tube to the binocular and recheck the image for singularity while looking at a specimen with the 10x objective..

  • The prism or mirror in each side of the binocular head might be loose or slightly out of adjustment. The way to check for the problem in a Sidentopf head ( binocular with a center post ) is to move each side of the binocular while looking through it at a specimen on 10x. The image should rotate cocentrically. If one side or the other rotates eccentrically it needs to be repaired.

  • Lens order in the the eyepieces - if incorrect- will cause some double image. The most common eyepiece is a 10x widefield. Lens order is usually withe greatest covexity of each lens towards each other. Otherwise send them in for repair.

  • The last cause of double image might be a bent casing or the center prism in a conventional binocular is out of adjustment.
