Sport optics

Rifle scopes, range finders and binoculars rely on highly accurate glass prism systems to twist the image entering the device. SCHOTT sets new standards in sport optic applications, such as high-end binoculars that use SCHOTT HT (high transmittance) glass. This exceptional material achieves higher transmission.
