Description
An environmentally-friendly illuminated rectangular magnifier which preserves energy, thanks to its clever autotouch feature. The moment you grip the handle, the light comes on; as you let go again, it switches itself off. This makes it a helpful magnifying glass for those who struggle with conventional switches because of poor hand articulation, or anyone who may forget to turn off the light. That's why this magnifier is frequently recommended for elderly or less able-bodied people, as well as for anyone just looking for a high quality low vision aid.
As you would expect from COIL, world leaders in magnifying optics since 1936, the lens is also of the highest quality. In this case it's a rectangular bi-aspheric lens measuring 83 x 59mm. This gives a wide view over your subject area and is a particularly nice shape for anyone who loves reading. At three times (3x) magnification, the words are sure to stand out more, especially with the benefit of a bright, long-lasting LED.
Lightweight to hold, with a central blue rubberised strip, the ATMax comes with soft cloth pouch , and requires 2 x AA batteries (not supplied) for operation. The bottom of the handle contains a helpful raised emboss diagram showing the direction in which the batteries need to be inserted.
