<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 77228, member: 669&quot;]My primary loupe is one I&#039;ve had for 30 years or more, and I don&#039;t remember anything about where, how, or even why, I got it.&nbsp; In incuse lettering it says &quot;Japan&quot;, so it must have originated there, but I don&#039;t think that&#039;s where I got it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s made of plastic, with three glass lenses.&nbsp; An optician checked out the magnifaction factor for me a few years ago, and they are each 7X, so I can get 7, 14 and 21X views.&nbsp; The individual lenses swivel, and when they are all in the closed position there are small holes on the outside that allow use of the exact center of each lens for close examination of a very small area at one time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I rarely use two lenses, and almost never use three, especially since I got my QX3 microscope and use its 60X setting for real closeup-examination.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Bausch &amp; Lomb 10X I used to have did a great job until I permanently misplaced it several years ago.&nbsp; B&amp;L is one of the top lensmakers in the world, but they are rather pricey.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
