CST/Berger 26X

The CST/Berger 26X is an optical automatic level engineered for construction and surveying work requiring accurate elevation measurement and angle determination. This self-leveling instrument delivers 26x magnification through a 1.4 in. objective aperture, enabling precise sightings across working ranges up to 400 ft with accuracy of ±1/16 in. at 100 ft. The magnetically dampened, wire-hung compensator provides rapid stabilization, while the 360-degree horizontal circle with 1-degree graduations and fine-motion knob supports angular measurements. Built from solid metal with sealed, dust-protected leveling screws and water-resistant construction, the 26X withstands field conditions. A sunshade, top-mounted peep-sight, right-angle prism for bubble viewing, and 1:100 stadia lines enhance usability in variable light and terrain.
