The table gives every stated specification of this hand lens. In summary, it is a handheld magnifier with a 50 mm diameter optically worked lens mounted in a white plastic handle, designed for viewing objects clearly at the bench, in the classroom or during field study.

Applications and Experiments for the Hand Lens

A hand lens is a simple magnifying instrument for any lab: held close to the eye and moved towards the object until the image is sharp, it reveals detail too small to see clearly by eye. It supports observation work in primary science, biology, earth science and physics optics lessons.

• Class 6–8 science: observing leaves, flowers, seeds, insects and soil particles during nature study and field trips.
• Class 9–12 biology: examining plant and animal parts during practical work with a Student Dissecting Set, before moving on to the Junior Dissecting Microscope for finer detail.
• Physics: showing that a converging lens forms a magnified virtual image, alongside a Convex Lens 50mm used to find focal length.
• Geography and earth science: looking at crystals, grains and textures in rock and mineral samples.

Never use the lens to look at the Sun or to focus sunlight onto paper or skin, as this can cause eye injury or burns.
