Applications and Experiments for the Magnifier
A magnifier reveals fine detail in specimens and materials and illustrates the convex lens at work. It suits CBSE/NCERT science from the primary years to Class 10, field biology and geology activities, and simple lens topics in Class 10 and Class 12 physics.
- Observing leaf venation, flower parts and small insects, with stainless steel Forceps to hold the specimen steady.
- Teasing apart plant tissue with a 14 cm Preparatory Needle while viewing it through the lens.
- Examining salt, sugar and copper sulphate crystals in chemistry.
- Class 10 light chapter: showing that a convex lens held close to an object gives an upright, enlarged image.
- Reading fine scales, labels, stamps, coins and maps during practical work.
Standard Scope of Supply
The magnifier is supplied as a single unit: the 10x biconvex glass lens mounted in its moulded plastic frame with ergonomic handle. Classes that also want stands, cases or specimen tools can ask for suitable items on the same quotation, priced line by line.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Whether you need one magnifier for a teacher or one per student for a whole class, the quotation covers that quantity and states its packing, delivery time and price. Microscopes, forceps or specimen dishes can be quoted together with the magnifiers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What magnification does this magnifier give?
It gives 10x magnification through a biconvex glass lens, enough to see fine detail in print, crystals, leaves and small specimens. The lens forms an enlarged virtual image when held close to the object.
Is the lens glass or plastic?
The lens is durable, scratch-resistant glass; only the frame and handle are moulded plastic, which is lightweight and impact-resistant. The handle has an ergonomic shape for a comfortable, secure grip.
Who supplies the Magnifier?
Single magnifiers and class quantities are quoted by Science Lab Supplies, Ambala, India, for schools, colleges and tender contractors, and the lens can share a quotation with microscopes, forceps or slides.
Can the magnifier be used to study lenses?
Yes. Holding the magnifier close to an object and moving it slowly shows the upright, enlarged virtual image formed by a convex lens, which fits the Class 10 light chapter.
