Hand Magnifier
Hand Magnifier (Product Code: SCL119/1.8) is a general-purpose magnifier listed at 2x and 3x magnification, commonly used as an inspection tool and as a reading aid. Its lens swivels out of a protective case, and the case then doubles as the handle. The lens is break-resistant, made of optical-grade acrylic, which suits busy classrooms where glass lenses get dropped. Science teachers looking for a hand lens magnifier for school in India can order it from Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, the maker.

Typical Use
Students hold the magnifier close to the eye and bring the object towards the lens until it comes into focus, then examine the texture of leaves, the grains in a rock or soil sample, the veins on an insect wing or the print quality on a label. Because the magnification is modest, the field of view stays wide and steady, which makes it a good first optical tool before children move on to a microscope. It is equally useful in the prep room for checking small markings on glassware and scales.
As a magnifier loupe in an Indian lab or classroom, it is easy to hand out and collect: the lens folds back into its case after use, which protects the acrylic surface from scratches in a drawer or pocket. Wipe the lens with a soft cloth only, since abrasive tissue can dull acrylic over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What magnification does it offer?
It is listed at 2x and 3x. Please tell us which magnification you need when you enquire so we can confirm the version supplied.
Is the lens made of glass?
No. It is optical-grade acrylic and break-resistant, which makes it better suited to young students than a glass lens.
How is the lens protected when not in use?
It swivels back into its protective case, which covers the lens and also acts as the handle when opened.
What is the lens diameter?
The lens size is not stated in our current product details; contact us and we will confirm it.
When should a class use this instead of a microscope?
Use the magnifier for whole objects such as leaves, insects, rocks and printed text. Cells and tissues need the higher magnification of a compound microscope.
Can I order magnifiers for every student?
Yes. Give us the product code SCL119/1.8, the quantity and delivery location; we supply schools and distributors in India and international markets.
