How to Size Your Objective

(A) = The diameter of the spring loaded retractable portion of the objective. This is the diameter that the heater band must fit.
(B) = The minimum vertical surface needed to mount the Objective Heater and transfer heat.

Bioptechs Objective Heater Band Sizes

Standard	Medium	Large
(A) 17-28 mm	(A) 21-30 mm	(A) 30-38mm
(B) 5.5 mm	(B) 5.5 mm	(B) 3.5 mm

Note: The above diagram depicts a typical Objective Heater mounting location. There are a wide variety of objective configurations. It may be necessary to mount an Objective Heater at a different location than indicated above. Some objectives require the removal of a decorative collar (below, top). If removal of the decorative collar is required, an objective wrench and pliers (below, bottom) are available.
