A binocular is a telescope composed of two single telescopes arranged side by side. The distance between its two eyepieces can be adjusted so that both eyes can observe at the same time, thus obtaining a sense of three-dimensionality. Binoculars have a wide range of applications, including observing terrain, reconnaissance of enemy situations, measuring target distance direction angle, elevation angle, impact point deviation, etc.
