LotuTec Protective layer for a crystal clear viewLotuTec is an effective protection coating for eyepiece and objective lenses - thus offering sharper viewing. The coating remarkably reduces soiling of the lens with its strong repelling effect. A principle of nature was the catalyst of this invention: the Lotus leave effect. It describes the water-repelling propery of surfaces to simply repel water drops and dirt.
Zeiss specialists were able to apply this principle to the optical glass: a water drop touches the coated surface with a much smaller contact area thus forming a ball that repels without leaving a trace. Oil smears and fingerprints adhere less and can be removed more quickly easily and free from trace - LotuTec makes the cleaning and caring for the lenses very easy. In addition the LotuTec coating is resistant abrasion-proof and aids in the reduction of scratches.
