Magnifying Loupe/Magnifier 30 X

Design of this outstanding made product

This loupe is a simple magnifier with a magnification of 30X.

A magnifier of more than 20X can be designed more easily with a combination of an objective and an eyepiece separated by a definite distances, for example, like a compound microscope. However the compound microscope has associated with it a very long tube length that hinders its use with one hand. Furthermore, the image viewed through it is inverted. Hence there is a frequent need for a high powered and high quality magnifier like the 30X for the purpose of using it with one hand to view an image, with its optical performance almost of secondary importance (even though the performance is quite excellent!).

This magnifier is perfect for those wanting to examine surfaces or even samples to be examined, or to determine where a sample ought to be sampled. It is so small and light weight that one can manage it quite easily with one hand, while the other hand holds the object to be examined. Because of the excellent optical design and engineering, the performance is almost as good as a high quality compound microscope of the same magnifying power.

The magnifier is composed of four lenses in two groups. It is designed to give the widest image field when the pupil of the eye is placed on the optical axis at an 8 mm distance from the outer vertex of the loupe. Hence the user should press the hood of the loupe on his face tightly with one hand, while the other hand holds the object to to be inspected and adjusts its distance from the loupe for focussing. The depth of field is shallow due to the high magnifying power of the loupe, so it is presumed that some amount of practice might be needed to get the "technique" worked out properly (e.g. exercises in fine focussing). It is also necessary to hold the loupe in such a way that the optical axis of it coincides with the visual axis of the eye, or in other words, the plane of the end surface of the loupe is perpendicular to the visual axis.
