(EN) Just in time for the new school year: Reduced Levenhuk Microscopes
August 14 2025, Maximilian WeißenbachNEW LEICA SPOTTING SCOPES & ACCESSORIES PRESENTED
August 13 2025, Stefan Rieger
At the Global Birdfair, Leica the optics specialist from Wetzlar not only presented a new spotting scope. No, two new spotting scope series, each with two objective lens diameters, were presented.
The new APO-Televid 2025 is available with 65mm and 82mm objective lens diameters. Either individually or as a set with the popular 25-50x wide-angle zoom eyepiece. The most important new feature is the improved optics with apochromatic correction and High Lux Pro (HLP) system. Proven dual focus, magnesium housing with full rubber armouring and 5m waterproofness with Aqua-Dura coating.
This revised spotting scope model is complemented by the more affordable Televid HD. Leica combines this in a set with the new 20-60x zoom eyepiece. The sacrifice of maximum quality is of course reflected in the purchase price. Leica has also introduced a range of new accessories, such as a stay-on-case. A new tripod set, which was developed in collaboration with Leofoto, and new smartphone adapters.
These are the new sets:
- Leica APO-Televid 65 & 25-50x wide-angle eyepiece
- Leica APO-Televid 82 & 25-50x wide-angle eyepiece
- Leica Televid HD 65 & 20-60x zoom eyepiece
- Leica Televid HD 82 & 20-60x zoom eyepiece

New in the range: thermal cameras from Nocpix
April 20 2025, Stefan Rieger
Some people may not be familiar with this name. But Nocpix is no less a company than InfiRay, which is already a well-known brand and one of the market leaders. In order to differentiate its business areas a little more, this new brand was created for the target group of nature observers, outdoor enthusiasts and hunters.
But what does the name stand for? Nocpix is the syllabic abbreviation of ‘Nocturnal’ and ‘Pixel’ and is intended to symbolise the combination of the latest technological innovations with a passion for nature and hunting. This has resulted in several new product series:
- VISTA and VISTA LRF: state-of-the-art thermal cameras with an extremely high-resolution display and a detection range of up to 2600 metres. Particularly noteworthy is the S50R model with a 1280 VOx sensor with a NETD of < 15mK.
- LUMI and LUMI LRF: Hand-held devices in three vers. Quality levels. 256, 384 and 640 sensor. From the entry-level device P13 to the professional model with 35mm lens, 640 sensor and laser rangefinder up to 800m range.
- The QUEST series was first presented at this year’s IWA. These are binocular ‘thermal imaging binoculars’ with an integrated rangefinder.
Particularly interesting for customers who can do without the digital night vision technology of FUSION devices. - Finally, Nocpix also offers the M6T25S dome camera. This camera is ideal for scanning large areas from the vehicle for heat sources, whether for hunting or surveillance.
