- What does 60X magnification actually show?
- It enlarges fine surface detail such as print dots, engraving marks, gemstone inclusions and label microtext. The field of view is narrow, so you see a small area at a time.
- What is the 20 cm effective focal length for?
- It sets the distance between the lens and the object where the image is in focus. A longer focal length gives more room to work under the lens than a short-focus loupe.
- Does it have a light?
- No. It relies on ambient light, so use it near a lamp or window for the clearest view.
- Is the lens glass?
- No, the lens is acrylic and the body is ABS plastic. Acrylic is lighter but scratches more easily than glass, so store it protected.
- Is it good for reading or everyday use?
- Not really. 60X is too strong for reading text and gives a very small viewing area. A lower-power magnifier suits reading better.
- Where is the 60X Handheld Magnifier with 20cm Effective Focal Length, ABS and Acrylic Lens for Archaeological Jewelry, Printing Anti-Counterfeiting Labels and Wine Authentication cheapest?
