Easter gifts for nature lovers!

March 11 2024, Stefan Taube

Celebrate the start of the most beautiful season with us! Make yourself and your loved ones happy!

We offer selected gifts for young nature lovers and old hands alike:

 

For walks and hikes in Springtime:

 
If you have binoculars with you, you can see more. Nature comes closer. We offer a wide range of binoculars for nature and bird watching.

  • A monocular fits in every pocket and is quickly to hand for a closer look at animals or plants:

Omegon Orange 8×42 monocular

  • Binoculars with a roof prism are also compact, but allow comfortable binocular viewing. With 42 millimetre lenses, the Talron 8×42 is bright enough to provide a clear image even in dark forests or at dusk:

For a view at the Stars:

 
In spring, the nights are no longer freezing cold, but they are still relatively long and dark. This is the ideal time to start observing the sky!

  • Until 31 March you will receive an additional voucher of 100,- Euro with the purchase of a Omegon Telescope AC 90/1000 EQ-2. This allows you to order additional accessories now or at a later date.

  • Many nature lovers got their first taste of sky observation with a Skywatcher Dobsonian telescope. These telescopes are reasonably priced for their size and easy to use. We offer all models in this successful telescope series:

Special offer: thermal cameras for bargain hunters, save over 25%!

October 6 2023, Stefan Rieger

You can choose between the entry-level Thermalfox model, the Thermalfox Wi-Fi which features Wi-Fi connectivity, and the LCD screen which is suitable for both devices.

This offer is not only aimed at hunters. I also find it can be extremely helpful to use a thermal imaging camera when nature-watching to detect birds or other animals based on their thermal signature before locating and identifying them with binoculars or a spotting scope. The LCD screen is especially useful for finding birds in trees, or for nocturnal rabbit and hare counts.

So be as smart as a fox and bag a quick bargain! Save more than 25%

This offer is only valid while stocks last.

New in stock: CO2 monitors

November 6 2020, Patric Leibig

These air monitors display the carbon dioxide content in the air.

What is the ideal maximum indoor CO2 level?
According to the German Federal Environment Agency, indoor air quality is categorised as follows:

  • Good ambient air quality: < 800ppm
  • Average ambient air quality: 800 to 1,000ppm
  • Moderate ambient air quality: 1,000 to 1,400ppm
  • Poor ambient air quality: > 1,400ppm

Regular and proper ventilation…

The German Federal Centre for Health Education and the Robert Koch Institute advise regular ventilation of offices, schools, flats… Indoor spaces in general. Aerosols provide a possible transmission path for Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses. They build up very quickly and disperse themselves in closed indoor spaces. Proper ventilation is important to prevent risk of infection and improve the indoor climate.

CO2 monitors help you to monitor ambient air quality and support your regular ventilation. Most devices warn you using a traffic light system or alarm sounds as soon as pre-programmed values are exceeded. This is important as people are generally very good at assessing a room’s air quality upon entry but they quickly lose this assessment ability as they adapt to smells, meaning that any deterioration is no longer noticed. We also tend to close windows too quickly when the temperature falls starkly and it gets colder.

The CO2 monitors use sensors to measure the air’s CO2 concentration and show the current carbon dioxide content range using the traffic light display.

These devices use sensors to measure the ambient air’s CO2 content, the temperature and usually also the humidity and therefore help you to learn how to ventilate properly in order to contain viruses.

You can find a large selection of CO2 monitors here in our shop.

Omegon MiniTrack LX3: get ready for liftoff with heavenly photos of the starry sky

November 15 2019, Marcus Schenk

A photo of the starry sky that looks exactly how it would look on a clear night in the mountains or in the desert: this is a dream you can now fulfil with the new MiniTrack LX3.  The new mini-mount ensures you are well-prepared and is now even more powerful than its predecessor, the MiniTrack LX2.

The new MiniTrack LX3 mount

It is much easier than you think to take a fantastic photo of the starry sky. You don’t even have to be an experienced astrophotographer. In a dark location, align the mount to the north celestial pole, attach your camera, wind up the mechanism and start your recording. With the MiniTrack LX3, anyone can conjure up a beautiful photo of the starry sky – almost as easy as boiling an egg

Until now you’ve almost certainly been aware of the MiniTrack LX2: a fully mechanical small mount that you can attach to any commercially available camera tripod and which is so compact that it fits into any luggage. The new version, the MiniTrack LX3, has been revised yet again and is now better than ever. Sky&Telescope magazine awarded the MiniTrack the “Hot Product Award” and the users of the MiniTrack are also certain: you can not only take beautiful photos. With the MiniTrack LX3, the starry sky presents itself as if it were on the catwalk.

What has changed?

  1. More load-bearing capacity: now you can attach a camera up to 3kg in weight.
  2. New Teflon bush for even smoother movement.
  3. Adjustable suspension system: you can slow down or speed up tracking, making it more precise and the stars rounder.
  4. CNC body: more stable and even more finely finished.
  5. An optical polar finder is already included. This allows more precise polar alignment of the MiniTrack LX3 – and you can expose your photo for longer.

 

Let yourself be inspired by the Omegon MiniTrack LX3  and learn more about the compact travel mount here.

Digital Microscopy in Schools – a Step out of the Past

April 1 2017, Claudia Erbelding-Denk

PISA (the Programme for International Student Assessment) is a study promoted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the last of which took place in 2015. For the Pisa Study the tasks in natural science were set up in the following form: Experiments were simulated and students were stimulated to look out for creative, new solutions. The results showed that expert knowledge is the strong point in Germany, for example. Internalizing scientific concepts and methods, while dealing with these concepts in a creative way appears to be more difficult for German pupils, for example, than for Asian children. This lack of creativity correlates with the statement that juveniles find natural sciences, neither particularly significant nor attractive, even if they perform very well in such subjects.

According to information issued by employers, in October 2016 a significant number of critical STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Maths) jobs will remain unfilled by skilled employees. Making instruction more exciting and scientific can achieve an improvement in STEM vacancies. Schools must therefore approach technical standards and teach the currently valid scientific methods. Juveniles of today have grown up in the digital world. But in the schools they are confronted with analogue scientific equipment from the last century.

On the one hand, this situation leads to demotivation, and on the other hand it gives the pupils a false impression of procedures used in modern science. The intensive development of already existing digital competences would be of utmost importance, because scientific work calls for the linkage of various programs for evaluation, processing and documentation of results. Scientific trials in schools should therefore also comprehensively illustrate this process. Some microscope manufacturers have realized this fact and developed simple, robust digital microscopes. For primary schools there are reasonable, excellent hand microscopes available, which are most suitable for outdoor use.

For the examination of materials, stereo microscopes with an integrated camera are the best choice. Pupils in the upper secondary use high-resolution, digital microscopes for their experiments. In combination with a PC, these microscopes enable a complete trial run with adequate documentation.

All microscopes are delivered with the corresponding software to control photography and further processing of the documented images. Providing a school with modern equipment is a major investment, which, in many cases, cannot be covered by the school budget. Should employers, who are desperately looking for experts in the STEM subjects, pay out of their own pockets?
