START International OP2000 8X Power Fixed Focus Loupe, 0.95" Lens Diameter, 1.25" Field of View, 2 Lenses

The START International OP2000 8X power fixed-focus loupe has two optical-quality acrylic lenses ed onto a plastic frame, a 360° clear acrylic base that admits light from all directions, and is 24mm in diameter. The 8X magnification and 32mm/1.25" field of view provides greater amplification and field of vision. The loupe has two optical-quality acrylic lenses ed onto a plastic frame, for a clearer image than a single lens loupe. The base is made from clear acrylic to admit ambient light from all directions for enhanced visibility of objects. The loupe is 24mm/0.95" in diameter to fit snuggly and comfortably in the eye area. A fixed focus eye loupe is commonly used by hobbyists for specimen examination and by professionals in the jewelry, electrical inspection, printing, and gemology industries.

H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point. Magnifiers are devices used to the visual appearance of an object or image. Magnifiers come in a variety of styles such as hand-held, headband, standing, clip-on, eye loupe, and those that hang in a necklace form, or fit in a trouser pocket. Magnifiers are commonly made of plastic or glass. They can have one or more lenses with varying magnification abilities, and can have a binocular configuration with a single lens, or two separate lenses. They are sometimes used with LED or fluorescent light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Magnifier ability is often expressed as magnification at a specific length. For example, 1.75X at 14" means that when a magnifier is held at 14" from a viewer's eyes, the object will be magnified 1.75 times (X) its actual size. As magnification increases, viewing areas and focal length decrease. Magnifiers sometimes have a diopter number, expressed as + or -D, which is a measurement of strength (or power) of the lens. Some magnifiers are marked with a dioptric number on the lens. A high diopter number has a higher magnification than a low diopter number. Aspheric magnifiers, unlike spheric magnifiers, produce a sharp image to the edge of the lens for less distortion. Magnifiers are widely used in jewelry inspection and fabrication, watch-making, needlework, artwork, fly-tying, electrical inspection, reading, print inspection, and stamp-collecting. START International manufactures tape dispensers, label dispensers, and optical inspection tools. The company, founded in 1981, is headquartered in Addison, TX.
