Here's a question for you and I can't find an answer on Google.
I have found that all microscopes that I've measured have
eyepiece barrel diameters of 23.2 mm or 0.913 inches.
Telescopes are generally at 1 1/4 inch = 31.75 mm.
Of course telescopes can even fit 2 inch eyepieces.
Question:
why are microscope eyepieces so small in diameter?
cheers

Originally there was duty on larger optics and by making them a little smaller the duty was avoided and the practice carried was still carried on even after the duty was dropped after WW2..no hang on thats not right as I just made all that up
..
.I really don't know why the difference ..probably just following the original leader in the field and as with so many things " we do it this way because we have always done it that way".
There could be a reason based in optics.
Who was the leader way back? Maybe the EPs were similar to those in a sextant or something and pirated...
I wont sleep tonight of course.
