The Takahashi TPL Plossl Eyepieces offer a lineup of 48-degree eyepieces with highly refractive and low-dispersion glass which result in excellent pinpoint and sharp contrast.
The new TPL series minimizes chromatic aberration to around half of the Takahashi Abbe eyepiece series and two thirds of the Takahashi LE series. To further improve contrast, Takahashi has coated the eyepieces with multilayered coatings with a visible light 99% transmission rate and has reduced stray light with a matte finish.
