Field lens / pocket magnifier with magnification power x 30


What is this good for?

These are amazing for seeing anything up close! Fibres, insect eggs, the hooks that allow seeds to be animal dispersed, the print of a newspaper, the cracks in your skin.. the list is as endless as your child's fascination! Great for keeping kids entertained at a café table, on a train ride, hours of exploration on holiday without adding bulk to your luggage....


Why this particular field lens?

This is not your usual field lens. I have used many different lenses with students over the years and most never last long. They soon become loose, rivets come undone, screws get lost, they quickly become useless. I wanted field lenses that could cope with being outdoors, that could be simply tightened when they become loose and wouldn't easily rust. Finally, I found these.

German-made, high magnification with a good quality lens, made of aluminium alloy so they're lightweight but robust, easily tightened. These are the only field lenses I would recommend.


Specification:

30x magnification field lens

Aluminium alloy casing

Glass lens

weight (unpackaged) ~17.7g

What goes well with this?

Pipettes

Forceps

Top tips!

Ensure these are stored fully dry. Tighten with a small screwdriver if they ever start to feel a little loose. Keep in a cloth pouch (just cut the toe off an old sock) and have one in your bag / pocket wherever you go. Great for keeping kids entertained at a café table, on a train ride, hours of exploration on holiday without adding bulk to your luggage....
