Features Of Wheelchair Accessible Viewers

By Ronald Mitchell


People using wheelchairs cannot access some buildings. They cannot enter houses that have stairs at the entrance. This has been a kind of discrimination to them. This has been going on for some time but all is not lost. We can correct so that, disabled people can feel as part of others. Currently, most of facilities that are being developed are also usable by these kinds of people. A lot of non-governmental organizations and some governments are really pressurizing on this. In conjunction with this, telescopes called Wheelchair accessible viewers have been developed to serve disabled people.

Some of telescope manufacturing companies have commenced designing telescopes that are accessible to persons in wheel chair. This indicates that they are dedicated to ensure that tourists who move in wheel chairs are able to view attractions that are located deep into the sea. They are designed in such a way that they can be adjusted to serve them appropriately. These have been introduced after the ordinary ones were unable to serve disabled persons.

One of these specifically designed telescopes is 20 or 35 times telescope wheelchair Accessible viewer. Its height can be changed to help the user focus on a feature of interest. With this type of telescope, focusing is usually done manually to make the image of feature being viewed become clear. Color that is most common with these types is black. However, there are other colors such as, red, blue and also moss green. The outer case is normally made of aluminum and cannot rust easily even if left outside for a longer period of time.

The machine has height of about 47.5 inches. The eyepieces are usually located at a height of about 45.0 in. It has a weight of about 110 lbs. It has a base whose diameter is twelve inches. All these features make it ideal for use by people with disabilities. It is normally located next to those ordinary ones so that it can serve those in wheelchairs.

This advancement in telescope industry has been a great achievement to disabled. In learning institutions such as schools, we do have students who move in wheelchairs. In case of an academic trip to observe a new feature learnt in class, they are able to observe it using this special telescope. It also serves tourists who use wheelchairs while moving.

Specifically designed telescopes have created a new dawn to people who spend their time in wheelchairs. They are also able to enjoy services of telescopes, unlike in the past, where this service was preserved to only people who can move freely with the help of legs. This was important to the disabled in that they now recognize themselves with the rest.

Persons who cannot walk using their legs can now buy telescopes for their personal uses. This is because they are capable of using them. In the past, it could be very unwise to buy one because could not use it. This is not only a benefit to themselves but also to the developers because the markets has widened, hence making more profit.

Other than increasing size of market for their goods, the manufactures have also made their image reputable in the business industry. They have vividly shown that persons with disabilities are just like the other people and they ought not to be discriminated by manufacturing items that are only usable by people without challenges.
