BUSHNELL Bushnell Nitro 10x36 Binoculars (BN1036B)

The Bushnell 10x36 Nitro Binoculars are built to be an ideal companion for all of your glassing needs whether you're out birdwatching, hiking, camping, enjoying sporting events, or sightseeing around town. The smaller objectives help keep overall size and weight down to make them easier to pack, carry, and use.

To deliver peak performance, they're outfitted with extra-low dispersion (ED) glass, broadband anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics, dielectric coated and phase-corrected BAK4 roof prisms, and protective exterior lens coatings that work together to maximize light transmission through the entire light path without distortion or color fringing. The results are bright, sharp, and clear high-contrast views with accurate color fidelity and crisp resolution across the entire visual spectrum, even in challenging conditions.

Optical Performance

• High 10x magnification enables detailed observations of distant subjects
• 36mm objective lenses draw in comparable light as a full-size model without the bulk and weight
• Compact roof prism light path ensures the optical tubes remain slim for easier handling without affecting performance
• BAK4 prism glass delivers a round exit pupil and a crisp and clear image with limited edge distortion
• PC3 phase-correcting prism coatings eliminate internal interference to improve color and contrast
• Dielectric prism coatings boost surface reflectivity to greater than 99% for maximum light transmission through the prism with minimal loss and diffraction
• Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass lens elements reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations for increased contrast and improved color rendition and sharpness without distortion across the entire field of view
• Broadband anti-reflection fully multicoated optics maximize light transmission and improve contrast and color fidelity across the entire visible spectrum
• Proprietary EXO Barrier exterior lens coatings allow oil, dirt, and sap to be cleaned off without leaving smudges or residue
• Wide 65° apparent angle of view presents an immersive and panoramic observational experience while minimizing the appearance of distracting hand-shake
• Spacious 341-foot field of view at 1000 yards

Use and Handling

• Closed-bridge configuration provides a solid and stable platform for the internal focusing mechanism
• Large slip-resistant center focusing wheel is easy to manipulate in cold and wet weather, even while wearing gloves
• Locking right-eye dioptric correction allows user to compensate for optical prescription to produce sharper views with the ability to set it in place to avoid accidental adjustment
• Twist-up eyecups for easy use with or without eyewear
• 13mm eye relief
• 3.6mm exit pupil
