2" QUARTZ Dielectric Coating Diagonal
If what you are looking for is the absolute highest achievable brightness, contrast and sharpness during critical observations with high-end instruments, the William Optics 90° 2” Quartz Dielectric Diagonal is your choice. The dielectric coating allows 99% reflectivity. They feature a 10mm thick substrate flat for optimal image stability. It uses Quartz material with a higher 1/15 lambda than the standard dielectric mirror, so it's more durable than regular mirror and will give you faster cool down period. It also processes a little bit higher contrast in brightness. The accurate design guarantees constant alignment. No further alignment needed.
A 2” to 1.25” eyepiece adapter is included, of course. Big, knurled thumbscrews, easy to turn even with gloves on, are there to move the anti-marring brass compression rings around your most valuable eyepieces. It is a patented, elegant design that has been cut from the best aluminum. Internally, they have an anti-reflection coating for the highest contrast possible and are threaded for 2" filters. And an internal safety stop prevents most 2” barrels from hitting the mirror, but please make sure that your 1.25” accessories’ barrels are less than 64mm long, or the mirror might get damaged. Available with standard 2" barrel or SCT thread. A premium product at a reasonable price. They will become a crown jewel when attached to your scope!
