However in your post 11, 14 and 23 I did not see any green at all.Ed, post 22: I think that you tackled most of the problems with regard to color perception and color reproduction. I can add one. At the time that we had only monocular microscopes, we observed that some students developed different color perceptions between the two eyes, perhaps since one of the eyes had been exposed for a longer period of time to higher light intensities. Another problem is the ageing eye, which develops a yellow bias because of the yellowing process occurring in the lensCycleguy, post 20,I have to do other work today, but I will look at your question regarding the SLC and the Companion and come back to you.Jremmons, post 12,The Zeiss Victory FL 7x42 shows a slight red bias when checked with my eyes. Some call it a warm image impression, which is liked by some, while others do not like it, it is a matter of taste. The color impression can be explained by a relatively high transmission in the red as compared to blue transmission, what we actually observed.Somthing that is worthwile to mention perhaps is the following: binocular producers use an ISO standard for color reproduction and to my knowldge the ones I know do comply with it to the best of their ability.Gijs van Ginkel</blockquote>
