Kowa TSN-EX16S 1.6x Magnification Extender
The Kowa TSN-EX16S 1.6x Magnification Extender is a dedicated optical accessory engineered to boost the power of the Kowa TE-9Z eyepiece by a factor of 1.6x, providing a significant increase in magnification for long-range observation with TSN-82SV, 660M, and 600 series spotting scopes.
A 1.6x Power Increase for Long-Range Viewing
By inserting the TSN-EX16S between your scope body and the TE-9Z eyepiece, you increase the magnification of your entire system by 1.6x. This boost transforms your standard zoom range into a high-power tool, ideal for resolving fine details on distant subjects, for long range observation of terrestrial and astronomical subjects.
Kowa designed the extender to maintain superb optical clarity, ensuring that the view remains sharp even at the highest magnifications. It also features an accessory collar compatible with Kowa's digiscoping adapters, allowing you to capture high-magnification, super-telephoto images through your scope.
Designed for the TE-9Z Eyepiece and Kowa's 82SV/660/600 Scopes
This extender is used with the Kowa TE-9Z zoom eyepiece and is listed by Kowa for the TSN-82SV, TSN-660M and TSN-600 series spotting scopes, mounting between the eyepiece and the scope body.
The TSN-EX16S also provides backward compatibility with Kowa's legacy spotting scopes, including the TSN-1, TSN-2, TSN-3, and TSN-4 models. This lets owners of these scopes increase the zoom range of the TE-9Z by 1.6x.
