The Dumpy Level has a 20-power inverting telescope with precision crosshairs and two focusing adjustments. The telescope measures 5 5/8-inches long and has a removable brass lens cap to protect the 27 mm diameter objective lens. An adjustable spirit level with a protective cover is located on the top of the brass telescope.
