Download a PDF format catalog on magnifiers
Magnifiers and hand-held microscopes are used by printers,
silkscreeners, PCB manufacturers, quality control workers, collectors of coins, stamps
& antiques, naturalists, needleworkers, forensics specialists, hobbyists,
conservators, geologists and others.
Low vision aids and vision enhancers, including reading lenses, Bausch
& Lomb visors, hands-free and illuminated pocket magnifiers are ideal for everyday
tasks and hobbies as well as for those suffering from macular degeneration.
If you don't see the magnifier you want, please call, fax or e-mail and let
us try to locate it!
Keep in mind that for all magnifiers, there is a general relationship between the
three key specifications for a lens: the diameter, the focal length (working
distance between the surface and the lens), and the power. Generally, a higher power
magnifier will have a smaller diameter and shorter focal or working distance than a lower
power magnifier. That's why, for example, it is not optically possible to make a 1 x 1
linen tester in 10X or why the 20X inspection loupe has a smaller lens than the 12X and
less room to work underneath.

 WF-6:
This brand-new magnifier offers an unbeatable combination of distortion-free
6 power magnification and lots of room to work underneath! The viewing
area is 2 inches across and 1-1/2 inches tall! The double ashperic design guarantees excellent clarity and sharpness from edge-to edge of
the 33mm diameter lens, while the cutaway base allows 180º
access to the subject. The focus is fully adjustable. A plastic cap is included to protect the
lens. You'll find this magnifier available elsewhere for over $79, but
our price is just $42!!
 LM-10:
This handy, inexpensive magnifier is equipped with a powerful,
flat-field 10X lens (25mm diameter) and built-in illumination from two
bright-white LED lamps. You'll have no trouble seeing fine detail on
prints, stamps, coins, and photos. You can even use it to detect
counterfeit currency and secure documents, because you can easily see the
micro-printed area.
The ergonomically-shaped body fits comfortably into
your hand and allows your thumb to operate the push-button switch that turns
on the light. Uses two AAA batteries, included. Long battery
life is assured by LED technology, compared to incandescent bulbs.
Only $46!!
For general purpose magnification. All fold up flat for easy carrying.
