Condition: New
Manufacturer: Aven
Part Number: 26800C-MM-100
- That instrument is among seven lightweight models of new pocket-size
microscopes and magnifiers for use in industry, science and education.
They are designed for basic quality inspection, color registration
checks, gemology, science classes and field research in biology, botany
and geology.
- The MicroMax, available with LED lighting, has a base for small
objects, textile samples or flat specimen portions. Independent knobs
adjust magnification and focus, and a rubberized eyepiece keeps external
light out of the viewfinder. It’s 3.25 inches tall and weighs just over
one ounce. The standard version needs three AAA batteries, while the
longer-life LED version includes three button cell batteries.
- Aven’s latest compact selections also include the MiniBrite Pocket
Magnifier, a 5x slide-out device with LED lighting for bright, clear
viewing. An acrylic aspheric lens assures distortion-free enlargements.
The magnifier is 4.25 inches long with the 1.5-inch by 1.4-inch lens
extended.
- Aven’s other new pocket instrument, the MagniFlash Magnifier, is a
multipurpose tool with a built-in LED flashlight. Four models allow a
choice of 5x, 7x, 9x or 11x magnification through a 1.5-inch diameter
aspheric lens – a style also used in cameras and vision correction for
optimal clarity.
- Each five-inch-long MagniFlash features a neck strap and case. It requires three AAA batteries, as does the MiniBrite.
- “These pocket tools are practical for quick quality or alignment
checks in production areas, or as lightweight accessories for academic
field studies, dermatology exams and forensic work,” says Mike
Shahpurwala, president of Aven. “Their price level makes multiple
purchases affordable.”
- Each pocket microscope and magnifier is engineered by Carson Optical, a leading U.S. supplier of professional instruments.
- Aven lines of portable inspection instruments include pen-style pocket microscopes and the Digital zipScope with image capture.
