<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tall Paul, post: 25371325, member: 114635&quot;]A loupe is a tool and it advisable to buy the best quality. Loupes with triplet lens can be purchased from 10x to 30x magnification. Triplet lens also correct for spherical and chromatic aberrations. For a number of years I was a practicing gemologist (GG), gemmolgist (FGA) for our British friends and I relied on a 10x loupe for all initial examinations of gem and mineral materials. I still have my 10x loupes and I now use them to examine coins. All gem grading was based upon what could be seen at 10x.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
