The Claire Loupe PB80 Reading Magnifier from Vixen Optics has an aspherical multicoated lens that reduces distortion and provides a clear and bright image. It has an ABS resin/elastomer handle and offers a magnification of 2x. It is designed for reading newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, and maps.
Aspherical Lens
Many loupes have a spherical lens, which causes distortion around the end of an image. This loupe has an aspherical lens, so distortion is minimized and you can see the entire image clearly
Multicoating (Anti-Reflecting Coating)
The multicoating reduces reflection and provides a sharp and bright image, so when you read a book under a lamp, you can see the words clearly
Hard Coating
A hard-coated lens surface protects it from scratches
Easy Grip Shape
The grip is designed so there is a gap between the loupe and the surface it is placed on for easy handling
