Eschenbach offers a selection of hand-held magnifiers to meet a range of professional uses, such as illuminated magnifiers with calculated light guidance that direct all available illumination directly onto objects as well as three lighting settings using snap-on filters – popular with watchmakers and goldsmiths for precise work.

High Power Magnifiers

Individuals having difficulty reading small print will find that using a large magnifier is an invaluable aid. With its powerful magnification capabilities and multiple illumination settings, these magnifiers provide an effective solution in low light conditions.

When searching for a large lighted magnifier, several factors should be taken into consideration, including its size and weight as well as magnification power. You should also seek a high-quality lens with distortion-free optics that fits comfortably in your hand and easy to grip for long term use. Also important when purchasing any magnifier is which kind of lighting source the magnifier uses; LEDs tend to be more energy efficient while having longer lifespan than halogen bulbs.

These handheld magnifiers provide the ideal solution for those suffering from poor eyesight or macular degeneration. Their user-friendly design provides powerful magnification in a lightweight handheld design and they’re an easy way to spot read, such as checking scores online or reading utility bills. Furthermore, these handheld magnifiers are great for examining small parts or reading labels on pill bottles – ideal for spot reading!

Locating the appropriate handheld magnifier will depend on your specific needs; some are designed like traditional magnifying glasses while others resemble rings or binoculars. Furthermore, handheld magnifiers may come equipped with either Fresnel lenses for wider viewing areas and higher magnification powers than convex lenses.

When shopping for a handheld magnifier, be sure to select one with a long-life battery; this will save money by eliminating frequent battery replacement costs. In addition, check if it has a protective pouch as this could prove invaluable if used over an extended period.

Folding Pocket Magnifiers

No matter if you are a goldsmith, watchmaker, artisan or model maker; handheld magnifiers are an invaluable asset. At ESCHENBACH we offer an assortment of practical folding pocket magnifiers in various magnification capacities to meet this need.

These handy magnifiers fold into a black plastic case for convenient pocket storage, featuring ground and polished optical lenses in a molded plastic casing that pivots outward when not in use. There are single, double, triple-lens models of portable pocket magnifiers; their lenses can be used individually or collectively for three power levels with two lenses magnifiers, seven powers with three lens models.

Professional magnifiers are ideal for laboratory technicians, engineers, mechanics and inspectors. Their powerful achromatic lens system removes extraneous colors that could distract from inspection processes. Furthermore, their hand-held illuminated magnifiers can also be used for reading photographic negatives on light boxes as well as inspecting small parts on-the-go – they’re an indispensable addition to any toolbox!

Watchmaker’s Loupes

Watchmakers employ loupes when repairing or adjusting watches, using them to magnify small details and make the work easier. Loupes come in various styles and power levels; designed to be comfortably worn over the eye with air holes for fogging prevention; some also boast flame retardancy properties as well as plastic coating for further safety against heat or flame exposure; these features make these loupes suitable for any task at hand; some even pair well with 10x eschenbach magnifiers to deliver optimal magnification!

The Bausch and Lomb 4X watchmaker’s loupe is widely considered the standard in its industry, featuring distortion-free lenses and ease of use. With black housing on the interior to reduce glare and focus at 2.5 inches allowing enough work on watches without moving your hands around much; not to mention being extremely cost effective and being used by many watchmakers over decades! This model has also proven reliable at keeping watchmakers working.

Bergeon or Sternkreuz offers 6X loupes that provide even greater magnification, complete with an attached clip for easier attachment to glasses frames and available with either biconvex or plano-spherical lenses made of polymethyl acrylate coated with an antistatic Duplex hardened coating that resists scratches.

These loupes are popular among rock and mineral collectors. Lightweight yet sturdy, they include a protective case to house the lenses. Furthermore, their clear lenses boast Eschenbach’s proprietary Cera-Tec lens coating which resists scratching much better than traditional coatings.

Illuminated Magnifiers

Illuminated magnifiers can make any job more manageable and enjoyable, offering greater contrast than unlit magnifiers to illuminated work areas.

Illuminated magnifiers come equipped with various light sources and lamp types. You have your choice between LED or fluorescent. LED magnifiers offer more energy-efficient LED bulbs which provide high quality illumination with natural color temperatures, eliminating eye strain as well as annoying stroboscopic effects commonly seen with fluorescent lamps. Furthermore, LEDs last much longer.

Optic quality is of utmost importance when selecting illuminated magnifiers, and there are various lens options to consider. High-end illuminated magnifiers typically boast optically correct white crown glass lenses with minimal distortion that are optically correct – often called aspheric lenses – featuring antistatic coating for improved durability and performance.

Magnification, often referred to as diopter, for illuminated magnifiers is determined by dividing its optical quality by aperture size, and coming up with a number that indicates maximum magnification achievable by this lens. Magnification levels range from 3-diopter up to full 7.5-diopter magnification levels.

While many illuminated magnifiers feature round lenses, rectangular ones have recently seen increasing use due to their increased field-of-view advantage over round magnifiers. Round magnifiers often force users to rely on only the center, undistorted section for optimal magnification clarity while rectangular lenses offer wider usable fields of view that enable users to see more of what they’re working on at any one time.

Illuminated magnifiers have become an invaluable tool in inspection, repair and rework applications across numerous industry sectors such as manufacturing, cosmetology and more. Therefore, operators must select an illuminated magnifier with the appropriate combination of ergonomic features, magnification levels, illumination options and lens shapes for each application in order to increase productivity while increasing precision, accuracy and overall workplace safety.
