Forget watchmaking, you could write the "A Tale of Two Cities" on a piece of tortellini with this triple magnifier visor. Magnifies from 2.2X to 8X. Has a permanent 2.2X lens, a flip-down lens, and a flip-down loupe. Separate white LEDs at each temple, powered by (2) "AAA"s each which aren't included. The whole thing is in a black plastic visor, 7-3/4" wide x 5-1/4" deep with a flexible plastic strap held by a hook-and-loop closure. Opens to 9" max dia and has coated acrylic lenses. Now then: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times….

92983 BINO MAGNIFIER |
A clever twin-lensed loupe that clips on eyeglasses for hands-free magnification. Each 1" dia, 3.3-power glass lens is at the end of a thin metal arm and swivels easily. The metal clip mechanism is about 1-1/2" long, each lens and arm about 2-1/2" long. Use a single lens, or line two up to double the loupe to a 6.6 power. Individually, each has a 3" working distance. When they're used together, it's 1-1/2".

Check out this standard mirror that reverses to a first-surface mirror covered by a piece of protective film. The first-surface side is great for use with lasers. It's 1/8" thick and 8" long. And? And it tapers from 5-1/4" wide at one end to 5" at the other. If anyone asks, just tell him he's hallucinating.

Magnifiers with dual lenses and transparent acrylic stands; place them above the objects you wish to scrutinize and the focus takes care of itself. The Lumiloupe 10x magnifier is 1-3/4" high, with a 2" dia. base and a 1-1/2" dia top, so it is best suited for stamps, coins, film, and the like. The Lumiloupe 5x magnifier is 2-1/2" high x 4-1/4" base x 3-1/4" at the top, a fine size for botany, entomology, or cartography.

This nice handful of plastic lenses is just the ticket for a primary-school teacher who needs unbreakable samples, and who wouldn't mind having a few interesting pieces left for craft projects. Each DCX lens is 20mm dia, 34.5mm focal length. Not individually wrapped, so a few may have small surface scratches.

Polished glass equilateral prisms. Equilateral because each edge of the end is the same length, 25mm. Thus, as all you geometry students know, each of the angles is also the same, 60 degrees. These are school grade and are fine for decorative and demonstration. They do a nice job of diffracting light to produce a nice rainbow-like spectrum, but are definitely not up to instrumentation standards. The missing dimension, length, is shown below.

New, international-standard, full-sized illuminated student microscope. Professional quality at a student price, it has turret-mounted achromatic objectives, fine and coarse rack-and-pinion focus and substage diaphragm light control, and a metal frame. It is built to international DIN standards and accepts all DIN eyepieces and objectives. With extras like focus stop for slide protection, adjustable tilt and (2) spring clips, it is a fine instrument for most home science work. If you are looking for more magnification purchase the spring loaded 60X or 100X (oil immersion) objective lenses. Brings your scopes total magnification up to 600X or 1000X magnification. A great addition.

52453 MICROSCOPE, 400X |
Buy this Meade 8200 for a science student, or for an inquisitive kid. It’s a starter microscope, but it’s definitely not a toy. The three high-quality, turret-mounted objective lenses (4X, 10X and 40X) combined with the 10X eyepiece provide magnifications of 40X, 100X and 400X. It has a precise, stage-mounted rack-and-pinion focuser, a 6-aperture rotary diaphragm for light control, 5 prepared slides and 5 blank ones, just to get you started. It comes with a mirror to reflect ambient lighting, but you can kick up the light level by adding this small LED lamp with an 8" long gooseneck and (14) bright white LEDs. The lamp comes with (3) "AAA" batteries, but it never hurts to have fresh ones at hand.

Because it's one excellent spotting scope from Celestron®. A Maksutov-Cassegrain design with multi-coated optics, it has a 65mm dia aperture and 30-90X magnification. It comes with a tabletop tripod that adjusts from 9-1/2" to 12-1/2" tall, and has fine-tuning knobs for horizontal and vertical angles. The scope itself, with an image-erect 45-degree eyepiece, weighs just over a pound and measures 3-1/8" dia x 8-3/4". Comes in a very nice black, soft carrying case with a shoulder strap, a hook-and-loop closure, and a handy chamois tucked inside.

A nice 3X loupe, 2-3/8" dia, that folds into its own 3-3/8" x 2-5/8" tear-drop-shaped plastic case, and it's only 5/8" thick, just right for sliding into your pocket. Pay no attention the "6X" markings on the package-if mistakes didn't happen, we wouldn't be in business.

Optical imaging folk insist that their reflective surfaces be on top of the glass, because an optically minor “ghost” is created with back surface mirrors. These “First Surface” optical mirrors generally also have better glass and flatter surfaces than their household brethren. Delicate, with the fragile reflective surface exposed, they carry the prices that precision demands. If you are playing with lasers, photography or optical alignment, the first surface items below are what you need. Dimensions are included in the description as width x length x thickness, all in mm.
