Profile: Parks Optical, Inc. specializes in manufacturing telescopes, microscopes and binoculars. The brands we offer include Parks™, Parks Optical™ and Lumicon™. The Parks™ 10 inch f/4 & f/15 hybrid integrated telescope (HIT) includes two telescopes in one a fast f/4 newtonian and sharp f/15 cassegrain. The long focal length (f/15) classical cassegrain mode is ideal for high magnification, high-resolution observing and photography. This mode delivers stunning planetary, lunar, solar and double-star images. All mirrors are ground, polished, and hand figured completely in-house for diffraction-limited results. The optics are mounted in a genuine Parks™ low thermal conductive fiberglass tube. The tube provides room around the mirror for air movement without disturbing the images. The BMST 103 TB stereo microscope allows users to view specimens at two different magnifications. It includes top and bottom light sources so surface characteristics as well as the internal structure of the specimen can be examined.
