Aiming to renovate a simple 20x hand held telescopic telescope!

I can clean the lens elements carefully I expect, but the front one is delaminating.

So, is there anywhere I could send the lens to for either repair or replacement?

If you want to see how dysfunctional Congress is, just read any MSM news site right now.

Nutshell: The Senate passed a bill to pay the TSA workers after a marathon session, sending the bill to the House. But of course, House hardline MAGA reps are killing the bill, and are poised to bail today for a two-week PAID vacation.

Meanwhile, most large U.S. airports are still experiencing 4-6 hour lines to get thru security.

With midterms approaching, this is not a good look for House GOP.

With AI pushing data centres to their limits, the industry is shifting towards optical interconnects, which use light instead of electrical signals to enable high-speed, low-loss data transmission over longer distances.

Active in this space, KYOCERA recently introduced a new optoelectronic module supporting the PCIe 6.0 standard. Is this an important step forward in addressing performance and energy constraints?
