March 14, 1493, the first report ofChristopher Columbus on his voyageto the New World:After 33 days since I left Cadiz I reached the Indian Ocean, where I found many populated islands of which, made the announcement on behalf of our happy King and hoisted flags, no one opposing it, I took possession.At first I gave them the name of our Divine Saviour, with the help of which we came to this and all the other [...]. as we first landed on the island that, I said, I called Joan, I advanced along the shore to the west. As I saw it so big and not finding limitations, much to believe it not an island but a mainland province of Cathay [...]I went on hoping to find some city or village.

Within the wide range of Ziel binoculars and telescopes it’s easy to find the right tool, ideal for all types of activities: hiking or trekking, watersports activities such as sailing and navigation, naturalistic observations that require brightness and sophisticated equipment ... or activities related to sports, theater and entertainment thatneed a handy, discreet and lightweighted instrument. Ziel binoculars, in the various models, provide all the necessary features to get the best results in each type of activity due to the quality and precision of the elements that compose them and the accessories.

First of all I prepared a lead tubeto the ends of which I applied two lenses both flat on one side and one with a convex side and the other one with a concave side. Placed the eye on the concave side, i saw the objects large and near, three times closer and nine times larger than they can be seen by a naked eye. After that i prepared a more exact instrument, that showed objects more than sixty times bigger. And finally, not saving labor and expense, i managed to build me such an excellent tool, that the objects seen through it magnified almost a thousand and thirty times more closer than the naked eye.

Ziel telescopes are high quality and precision instruments, ideal either for amateurs and beginners who are looking for ease of use but with good mechanical and optical performance, either for experts of the solar system that go beyond Universe and habitually photograph what they see. The wide range of Ziel telescopes go from user-friendly “refractors”, with excellent contrast and ease of maintenance, indicated for the observation of the solar system, followed by the “short focal length refractors” which are also very intuitive to use and easy to transport, recommended for astronomical and terrestrial observations up to the “Newton Reflectors” that offer, besides the excellent ratio between price and quality, good brightness that allows interesting observations of the deep sky galaxies and nebulae and finally the “Maksutov Cassegrain Reflectors”, very versatile and optimum for terrestrial and astronomical observations. Depending on the model, the Ziel telescopes can be at manual search, motorized or computerized.

During the Renaissance many inventions saw the light: the press,gunpowder ... But an inventionmuch nobler was the microscope: an object that through a lens or lens combo can magnify small objects and enter a fascinating new world never seen before.Before it was known that observingan object interposing a crystal lens would enlarge it and in the presence ofsun, the object could go on fire. At the time of the ancient Greeks this was an acknowledged fact. the firstmicroscope was made of a simple lens, a tube and a saucer on the bottom. This gave about 10 magnification. People who observed samples through this rudimentary instrument remained fascinated.

Since ancient times, men studied the regular trend of the seasons obtaining

practical rules for the cultivation offields and connected up the succession

of certain phenomena to formulateweather forecast, observation of the

winds and disturbancesto make navigation safer. Towards the

middle of the XVII century,essential tools as the thermometer,

barometer, hygrometerand rain gauge began to enter in

common use. In the following century and throughout the first half of the

nineteenth the meteorological science progressed constantly: new tools were

improved and invented and other detection networks organized, while new theoretical concepts deriving from other

disciplines such as thermodynamics, chemistry of the air and life skills courses especially from navigators, explorers and

travelers, being acquired.

AT THE TOPOF THE EMOTIONS.

The Italian Alpine Club, an associationwith a history of nearly 150 years

Constituted on the 23rd of October 1863 in Turin - Even if it can be said that itsideal foundation took place on August

12 the same year, during the famous ascent to Monviso by Quintino Sella, John

Barracco, Paul and Hyacinth of Saint Robert - the Italian Alpine Club is a free national

association, as stipulated in Article 1 of its Statute, “ Its purpose is mountaineering

in all its manifestation, the knowledge and study of the mountains, especially of the

Italian ones, and the defense of their natural environment”

Ziel Extreme Eye Technology can be used in any situation: on the mountains or at the sea where the sun refraction creates dangerous risks for the view, but also while driving because the special composition of the lens does not require very dark colors that inhibit the normal vision except Change X3 in conjunction with amber lenses. Fx Titan, Hp Titan, Titan Polar Fx, Hp Titan Polar X-Trek, Change X3 and Change XV.4 are approved by the Italian Alpine Club. They are the ideal glassesfor those fond of mountaineering, hiking, trekking and for all those who love the outdoor.

ZIEL READING GLASSES

The invention of the first wearable eyeglasses is dated around 1284 by an Italian named Salvino Darmate. The first pictorial evidence of the use of glasses dates back to Thomas of Modena’s portrait of Cardinal Hughde Provence that reads a scriptoriumand it is dated 1352. Another exampledated 1403, is a representation of eyeglasses found north of the Alps in the altarpiece of the church of Bad Wildungen in Germany. Other stories, probably legends, connect Roger Bacon to the invention. Bacon is considered to be one of the first to have achieved in 1262 some reports documenting the extraordinary pro-perties of lenses, although he had been preceded in 1021 by the Optic Book of Alhazen, surely one of the most important and brilliant scientists of the Islamic world.
