Field magnifier from Opticron that has both 6 LED lamps and 1 UV lamp.
The latter is an excellent aid when it comes to fluorescent parts in nature as well as on stamps etc. The loupe is easy to use, you get visual acuity immediately by just placing it on a surface. 15 times magnification is good for really small details such as fungus and lichen spores etc. and with higher magnification both the LED and UV light come in handy. The depth of field is slightly shorter than with 10x magnification. The loupe consists of a Triplet three-lens element with anti-reflective treatment (Fully Coated), contained in an alloy housing with a brushed steel casing that is riveted. Suspension loop on the short side. Comes in a nice leather case along with key to open the battery door. The magnifier is powered by 3 button cell batteries. The UV light has a wavelength of 390 nm, which allows you to see fluorescence from minerals that fluoresce when illuminated by long-wave UV radiation.
