Applications and Experiments for the Hand Magnifier
The magnifier helps students see details that are hard to pick out by eye alone, such as leaf veins, flower parts, insect legs and soil particles. It is basic school biology lab equipment in India for observation lessons before students move on to working with microscopes.
- Class 6–7 science: observing the parts of a flower and the venation of leaves.
- Class 9 biology: examining insects and other small animals in lessons on diversity in living organisms.
- Soil and ecology work: inspecting soil samples and leaf litter for small organisms and particles.
- Sorting specimens on the Dissection Pan, or checking freshwater samples before using the Field Microscopy Kit.
Never look at the sun through the lens, and store it out of direct sunlight, because a lens can focus sunlight enough to scorch materials.
Standard Scope of Supply
One hand magnifier is supplied per unit: a 2X lens of 140 mm diameter with its plastic handle. Specimens, trays and charts are not included; a dissection pan, insect containers or other magnifiers can be quoted with it when a full observation kit is needed for a class.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
When choosing a hand lens magnifier for schools in India, ask for a quotation for a single unit or for enough to give every student group one lens. Science Lab Supplies sets out the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and other lenses, insect viewers or trays from the biology range can appear on the same quotation.
Using its Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa and Qatar. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Magnifier enquiries are answered via the contact page and the enquiry cart, and school or government bids are covered on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What magnification does the Hand Magnifier give?
It magnifies 2X, so objects appear twice their size. That level suits whole leaves, flowers, insects and soil samples, where students need detail but still want to see the entire specimen at once.
How large is the lens?
The lens measures 140 mm in diameter and is fitted with a plastic handle. The large diameter gives a broad viewing area, which helps when examining a full flower head or a whole insect.
Which magnifier suits closer work?
For higher magnification, the related list includes the Double Lens Folding Pocket Magnifier at 5X and 10X, the Single Lens Eye Loupe at 5X and the Tripod Magnifier at 10X, each described on its own page.
Who supplies the Hand Magnifier?
Science Lab Supplies offers the 2X, 140 mm magnifier as a supplied item from its base in Ambala, India. Schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors can obtain the magnifier directly and place it on one quotation with other biology observation items.
