May have been used during WWII. Otherwise unknown. - Function
-
Used to view and magnify distant objects. - Technical
-
Unlike a (monocular) telescope, binoculars give users a three-dimensional image: for nearer objects the two views, presented to each of the viewer's eyes from slightly different viewpoints, produce a merged view with an impression of depth. There is no need to close or obstruct one eye to avoid confusion. - Area Notes
