After extensive tests, the Wetzlar com- pany decided to use drawn tubing or hard-rolled magnalium (alloy of magnesium and aluminum), a material with exceptionally good strength, density and weather resistance properties. Leitz patent no. 191758 was more effective for keeping dust and moisture out of the interior of the binoculars.

- Page 93 To prevent reflections and flare caused by stray light rays, Leica takes numerous dedicated steps. To begin with, the shapes of lens surfaces, mounting components and light traps are already optimized during the design stage so that no extremely disturbing effects are to be expected.
- Page 94 : By selecting appropriate types of optical glass and lens coatings, and by combining the right lens elements and by converting the computed lens design into reality a accurately as possible, Leica suc- ceeds in keeping all the residual aberrations at a very low level.
- Page 95 Leica AquaDura coating To improve performance when observing, especially in poor weather conditions, Leica has developed a new, innovative coating – Leica AquaDura . It is modeled on something found in nature : in the lotus plant, for example, whose leaves never get dirty and droplets of water simply roll off them.
- Page 96 Glasses with anomalous partial dispersion are used for the enhancement of image quality, and they are used in all Leica binoculars and spotting scopes. High-Definition optics (HD)/Apochromatic color aberration correction (APO) The optics on the new Ultravid and Televid HD models stand apart from conventional optics by way of their increased image resolution performance.
- Page 97 As a rule, there is an approximate 4 % light reflection at every glass-/air surface of an uncoated lens. This effect increases exponentially the more lens elements there are in an optical system (in Leica binoculars there are up to 11 optical elements = 22 glass-/air surfaces).
- Page 98 To that end, the optical and mechanical components are mounted in the body of a Leica binocular or spotting scope in such a way that they cannot shift. The tolerances for the mechanisms used for moving lens groups are set at a very minimum and they are strictly enforced.
- Page 99 Glossary Multifunction centrer drive The combination knob for the Leica center drive feature performs two important functions : diopter com- pensation and focusing. Because of its size, it is always easy to use as a focusing wheel and it provides ergonomic handling and a steady observation.
