Magnifier
Product Code : SCL-CL-11884
Magnifier (SKU SCL-CL-11884) is a 10x handheld magnifying glass with a biconvex glass lens in a moulded plastic frame. Students use it to examine crystals, leaves, insects, print and other small details, and it also shows how a converging lens forms an enlarged virtual image. From its base in Ambala, India, Science Lab Supplies supplies this hand lens to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The magnifier uses a durable, scratch-resistant biconvex glass lens that bends light inward to give a sharp, enlarged virtual image at 10x. The lens sits in a lightweight, impact-resistant moulded plastic frame with an ergonomic handle, so it is comfortable to grip and easy to carry.

Applications and Experiments for the Magnifier
A hand magnifier is the first optical tool most students handle: it reveals fine detail in specimens and materials and illustrates the convex lens at work. It supports CBSE/NCERT science from the primary years to Class 10, field biology and geology activities, and simple lens topics in Class 10 and 12 physics.
- Observing leaf venation, flower parts and small insects in biology lessons.
- 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 and maps during practical work.
Standard Scope of Supply
The magnifier is supplied as a single handheld unit: the 10x biconvex glass lens mounted in its moulded plastic frame and handle. No stand or case is listed, so classes that need these can ask for suitable items on the same quotation.
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.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the Philippines.

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.
Is the lens glass or plastic?
The lens is scratch-resistant glass; only the frame and handle are moulded plastic, which keeps the magnifier light and resistant to knocks in a classroom.
Who supplies the Magnifier?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, and can quote single pieces or class quantities to schools, colleges and tender contractors.
Can students use it 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, a common Class 10 activity.
Related Optics and Observation Equipment
A hand lens pairs naturally with other optics and observation tools: some take magnification further, while others help students handle the specimens they are examining. These four items are often listed with magnifiers on a school science order.
- Compound Biological Microscope — higher magnification for slides and cells.
- Lens Kit with Stands and Storage Box — lenses on stands for bench optics work.
- White Light Source Ray Box — shows how convex lenses refract light.
- Forceps — for picking up and holding small specimens.
