Loupes & Magnifiers

Alaska Mining & Diving Supply stocks a wide selection of magnifiers, loupes, and lenses. We have everything from low power magnifiers for examining large areas, to high-power loupes for detailed inspection of samples. Magnifiers versus loupes - magnifiers are usually held at a distance from the eye and the height over the item to be examined adjusted to bring the item into focus. Magnifiers have lower powers and larger lens sizes for bringing large areas into focus. Loupes usually have higher magnifications, but also smaller lenses. To use a loupe properly, hold it as close to the eye as possible. Bring the item to be examined up to the loupe until it comes into focus. If a loupe is held any distance from the eye, the field of focus will be highly distorted. Good lighting is critical when using a loupe, and is the reason why lighted microscopes are popular as an alternative.
