Hand Lens Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Hand Lens (Product Code: SCL2329/036) is a handheld convex-lens magnifier used to produce an enlarged image of small specimens in school and college biology labs. Students reach for it first when examining leaf venation, flower parts or insect mouthparts, and its metallic body suits everyday handling in class. This hand lens magnifier for school labs in India and abroad is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Hand Lens Used For?

In botany practicals the lens is used to examine the parts of a flower (sepals, petals, stamens and carpels), the arrangement of seeds in a fruit, or the spore-bearing structures on the underside of a fern frond. Zoology classes use it to study insect legs, wings and antennae, while ecology field trips rely on it to identify mosses, lichens and small invertebrates on the spot. Alongside other plant biology lab equipment, it helps students decide which features are worth preparing as a slide for the microscope.

For a sharp image, hold the lens close to your eye and bring the specimen towards it until the detail comes into focus, rather than holding the lens at arm's length. Good side lighting makes surface texture much easier to see. Never look at the sun through the lens, and do not leave it lying in strong sunlight, because a convex lens concentrates light and can scorch paper or skin.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this hand lens and makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Because the lens comes straight from the factory that produces it rather than through a trader, schools, colleges, dealers and importers deal directly with the maker for class sets. For repeat orders or matching sets in later years, ask us and the enquiry is handled by the manufacturer itself. More about the company is on our company profile.

Related Laboratory Equipment

These items are commonly used together with a hand lens during specimen study:

• Plain Slides — for mounting material that looks promising under the lens so it can be studied at higher power.
• Dissection Set — to open flowers, fruits or small animals before examining the exposed parts.
• Quadrat — marks out the sampling area in field ecology, where the lens helps identify each plant.
• Microfiber Lens Cloth — wipes fingerprints and dust off the lens without scratching it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What magnification does the ScienceLab hand lens give?
The magnification of the Hand Lens (SCL2329/036) is not stated in our current listing, so we do not quote a figure here. Ask through our contact page and we will confirm the magnification of the lenses being supplied before you place an order.

What is the hand lens made of?
The Hand Lens has a metallic body holding a convex lens, which is the element that produces the magnified image. A metal body is a practical choice for class sets that are passed from student to student during botany and zoology practicals.

When should students use a hand lens instead of a microscope?
Students should use the hand lens for whole, unprepared specimens such as flowers, leaves, seeds and insects, and for outdoor fieldwork. Cells and tissues need a microscope and prepared slides, because they are far too small for a hand lens to show clearly.

How should a hand lens be cleaned and stored?
Clean the hand lens with a soft lens cloth, never with paper towels or abrasive cleaners, and store it in a drawer or pouch away from other metal tools. This keeps the convex lens surface free of scratches that would blur the magnified image.

Is the hand lens safe for younger students?
Yes, the hand lens is safe for younger students with normal supervision. Teach them never to look at the sun through it and never to focus sunlight onto paper or skin, because a convex lens concentrates light and can scorch.

Who manufactures the Hand Lens SCL2329/036?
The Hand Lens is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory in Ambala, Haryana, India. Class sets and repeat supplies are quoted directly by the manufacturer, with no trading intermediary between you and the maker.
