HEALTH OPTICAL ACCESSORIES & SERVICES Monk Optics Marine Binocular Specialists Keeping a Watchful Eye This unique 90mm or 110mm scope with twin eyepieces is a major breakthrough in high powered observation. It is now possible to observe distant objects with two eyes for fatigue free viewing and higher resolution and yet still retain the relative compactness, lighter weight, and lower prices which have traditionally favoured spotting scopes over observation binoculars.
