Illuminated Magnifier
You'll be able to see what you're doing! This 4" dia 1.5X lens (with a quarter-sized 3X lens embedded in it) sits about 4" above a table or desk. A shielded 7-watt candelabra bulb illuminates whatever is under the lens. The angles of the lens and the bulb are adjustable within the black wire-and-plastic frame. The 5-ft power cord has an in-line switch. Comes with an extra bulb.

Coins, Fiber, Insects…
A hard-to-beat magnifier, especially for field work, where you may not have the light you need. The area below the 11/16" dia lens in this loupe is lit by a white LED (the 2 AG-12 batteries come with it). It's at least a 5X magnification but not, we feel, the 10X it claims on the case. It has a push-on, push-off switch. It swivels into a compact 2-1/2" x 1-1/4" x 3/4" metal cover, and can hang on a chain or stay in its plastic storage case, along with the tiny screwdriver that opens the battery compartment. Very illuminating.

Read Right
No, we haven't reduced the size of the font in our catalog. Perhaps you should look into our fine-quality reading glass, a classic magnifier with a 4" dia chrome ring and a 4-1/2" black handle. The large 2X lens is glass, with practically no edge distortion. That way you won't miss a single syllable of our golden prose!

Monitor Mirror
It doesn't say that on the box, but that's what we're using it for around here because we're tired of surprises. It's a slightly convex 2-3/8" x 2" plastic mirror with a ball-and-socket joint (4-1/8" tall OA) with a self-adhesive strip to mount it where you can see people who have no business sneaking up on you in the first place, OK? Includes a little clip on the back to hold notes.

Closeup
Designed for watchmakers, this aluminum loupe with a 1" dia, 10x glass lens snugs to your eye, but leaves your hands free, thanks to the flexible 15" headband that encircles your head. It has a 1-1/2" working distance, and would come in handy, too, if you poke around in needlepoint or manipulate anything miniature.

Prince Plastic
Sure, when it comes to optical precision, glass is king. But in other categories (price!), plastic is definitely heir to the throne. If you're not looking for precision, but just for some funky lenses for your art project, model or for messing around with light, these 20mm dia PCV lenses will work royally. 6.6mm thick, clear plastic with a -60mm focal length. With (2) 1/8" dia mounting nubs on the side; they should file right off if you don't like them. So let the bluebloods waste their bread on glass; you've got plastic.

Optical Glass Filters
Al Luebbers, our founder, collected glass. Not glass like you'd find on a knick-knack shelf, but optical glass. Lenses, prisms, reticles and filters, for example. Focus on the filters. Many of his filters came out of military surplus, and this is for-real stuff. We mean many are solid dyed optical glass, ground and polished to flatness standards that were probably excessive. Others are from the old days in photographic optics, and their standards were even tighter than your militaristic Uncle's. We've found that photographers, artists, and optical designers still have an occasional need for good glass filters, so we're making a list of some goodies. As always, don't be timid about calling for quotes on quantities. If we have 'em, we'll sell 'em. Just don't sell them back. Please! If you're just playing, the assortment set may be a better way to go. Can't decide?? New to filters?? Doing a science project on light?? Let us assort (6) different filters of at least 20mm. dia for you.
