- an adjustable spacer operable to adjust a spacing between the left eyepiece and the right eyepiece, the adjustable spacer comprising:
- a rotating shaft;
- a left connector connected to the left eyepiece and threadingly engaged with the rotating shaft;
- a right connector connected to the right eyepiece and threadingly engaged with the rotating shaft, whereby a rotation of the rotating shaft relative to the frame adjusts a spacing between the left eyepiece and the right eyepiece;
- and
- a separate, detachable rotational lock operable to be attached to the left connector and the right connector and to prevent a rotation of the left connector relative to the right connector during the rotation of the rotating shaft, the rotational lock selectively detachable from the left connector and the right connector with the left connector and the right connector both engaged with the rotating shaft.
