Handheld 3 Inch Magnification Lens

Quick answer: The LabEquip Handheld 3 Inch Magnification Lens is a portable, non-powered magnifying glass used to enlarge the apparent size of specimens, printed text and small surface details. It is a simple viewing aid for students, teachers and laboratory users who need close observation during science activities and routine inspection.

Product Description

This magnifier combines a nominal 3-inch lens with a handheld frame and handle. Holding the lens between the eye and a nearby object produces an enlarged virtual image, helping users examine fine details that are difficult to see unaided – useful for introductory optics lessons as well as general classroom and laboratory observation.

The exact magnification power, focal length, lens composition, handle material and frame construction are not confirmed in this listing, so we have not invented these figures. Please confirm these details with our sales team before you order, particularly for institutional or tender purchases.

Specifications

Suggested Procedure

• Inspect the lens for scratches, dust or fingerprints before use.
• Hold the lens by its handle, keeping the lens surface clean and unobstructed.
• Position the lens between your eye and the object, adjusting distance until the image is clear and enlarged.
• Use steady, even lighting on the object for the clearest view.
• After use, wipe the lens gently and store it away from heat and direct sunlight.

Safety Note

Never use the lens to focus sunlight onto skin, paper or any flammable material, as this can cause burns or fire. Keep the lens away from small children unless supervised.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean the lens surface with a soft lens cloth; avoid abrasive materials.
• Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Check the handle and frame periodically for cracks or looseness.
