The 196-1 allows complete flexibility, combining the features of the previously offered 191 and 192 eyepiece units.  A rotating filter disc provides five options: "see-through" capability, reticle projection, green-filtered light, beam splitter with no coating, beam splitter with partial coating.  A built-in diffuser may be engaged for even light distribution over the entire field of view when autocollimating, collimating, or colineating.  By removing the light source, the 196-1 operates as a fixed right angle eyepiece.  The unit comes complete with model 508 light source.

The 196-1 has a rotating disk with several optical conditioners which may be selected  by the operator, as well as a light diffuser which may be inserted into the light path (below, left).
