Description
The Lumiloupe is a budget-priced, hands-free magnifying loupe with many different applications. Solidly made, it's a popular, high-strength magnifier which brings into view the intricate detail of any miniature subject.
Made from shatterproof plastic, it comprises an upper dual lens section on a transparent acrylic base. The lens magnifies any subject ten times (10x), allowing you to get a true close-up enlargement of even the finest detail. The lens is fixed so that it is focused in the optimum position when placed against a flat surface such as a workbench drawing or a wall X-ray chart. It is best used with the eye close to the lens but some users may find it easier to hold and move the lens up and down with the hand like a normal magnifying glass.
Below the lens, a clear base section allows ambient light to permeate through, and creates a protective circular surround over your subject. Children love this feature for looking at bugs because it means they cannot walk away when being viewed. Stamp and coin enthusiasts find the base to be a perfect size, and the lens an ideal strength for checking markings, imagery and dates.
Popular for hobbies, the Lumiloupe is a helpful vision aid for professional users too. Farmers use it to examine small insects on crops, Customs officials check the authenticity of passports; and jewellers will find it a useful back-up tool for quick initial examinations of gemstones.
It’s also a long-established favourite vision aid of photographers, evolving with the times to meet their changing requirements. In the past, it was an ideal inspection tool for viewing negatives on a lightbox. Today you are just as likely to see one being used to magnify the back of hard-to-see back screens on DSLRs and other cameras.
