An innovative improvement to conventional opera glasses, the KabukiGlasses 4x13 HD Theater/Opera Glasses allow you to wear your magnified binoculars like glasses without the need to manually focus. Don't let the name deceive you, while they were initially developed for theater use, they are equally useful at the stadium watching the game, in the backyard enjoying views of the moon, or in any situation where you want to get closer to the action in an instant.

Utilizing compact BK7 roof prisms and a five-element lens system, they weigh in at only 3.3 ounces for comfortable long-term use. The binoculars are offset from your face to eliminate eyelash touch, and because they are worn like glasses, they move with your head to virtually eliminate image shake. They feature a wide 52° apparent angle of view and can be easily used by people with normal eyesight below 10/100. These KabukiGlasses are made in Japan.

Q: 1. Are the roof prisms in the Minox 8-44 X-HD phase-coated?

A: Dielectric-Coated Roof Prisms. This type of coatings are found on roof prisms of binocular and are there to increase light reflectivity - As the light is incident at a glass–air boundary with an angle less than the critical angle, total internal reflection does not occur at that surface. To solve this problem, a mirror coating is used on those surfaces. To quantify typically an aluminium mirror coating is used that has a reflectivity of 87% to 93%) or a silver mirror coating (reflectivity of 95% to 98%) is used. The light transmission of the prism can be improved by using a dielectric coating rather than a metallic mirror coating. This causes the prism surfaces to act as a dielectric mirror. The dielectric multilayer coating increases reflectivity from the prism surfaces by acting as a distributed Bragg reflector. A well-designed dielectric coating can provide a reflectivity of more than 99% across the visible light spectrum.
