A stand magnifier is always useful when magnification is required under nearly identical conditions, such as when viewing details of prints and fonts. As a reading magnifier, it helps to decipher the small(est) print on now overcrowded labels and package inserts. It has also proven its worth in philately and numismatics, because anyone who wants to look at and examine a small object in detail is also best served with a stand magnifier - not least because it allows both hands to be on the object, which is an advantage for precision mechanical work, for example. The magnifier should be stable in any case: In our model, this is ensured by a solid base made of solid cast iron. A flexible and also 360-degree rotatable gooseneck made of chrome-plated metal ensures that the magnifier can be brought into any desired position. The lens itself comes with 10 diopters and 2.5x magnification, so it shows a 250 percent magnified image of the object being viewed. The stand magnifier is made in Germany.
