Swarovski STC Green **Swarovski STC 17-40x56 Green – Your Compact Premium Spotting Scope for the Engadine** Imagine: You're standing on a windless ridge above the Bernina Glacier, the sun breaks through the clouds, and your elegant green Swarovski STC 17-40x56 reveals ibex, bearded vultures, or the finest details of the crevasses with such crystal clarity that they seem almost within reach. This ultra-compact premium spotting scope with 17–40x zoom is a dream for hikers, hunters, ornithologists, and nature photographers who demand the highest optical brilliance in the smallest possible format. Weighing just 1.57 kg (including tripod adapter) and measuring only 285 mm in length, it fits perfectly in any backpack – ideal for long hikes in the Engadine, from Diavolezza to the Morteratsch Glacier. The Swarovski STC 17-40x56 green is perfectly suited for the Alps: The fluoride glass and Swarotop, Swarobright, and Swarodur coatings deliver brilliant colors, exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness, and 91% light transmission – even in twilight or low-contrast conditions. The 56 mm objective lens provides a bright, steady image up to 40x magnification, while the short minimum focusing distance of 3.5 m allows for impressive close-up observations of insects, plants, or birds. The ergonomic, easy-grip focus ring and 20 mm exit pupil offer excellent viewing comfort – even for eyeglass wearers. The robust magnesium housing with green armoring is waterproof, fogproof, and shock-resistant – perfect for the harsh conditions of high mountain environments. **The Swarovski STC System: Compact meets premium optics** The Swarovski STC 17-40x56 is the epitome of premium compactness. It perfectly complements the Swarovski ATX/STX system and offers the highest image quality on the go.
