Handheld magnifiers

Handheld magnifiers have a handle and are held in the hand during use. They are also referred to as reading magnifiers or magnifying glasses. Handheld magnifiers feature a convex lens attached to a handle that allows for an enlarged representation of an object.

Magnifying glasses are very flexible and versatile. Depending on their size, they are also easy to transport, making them suitable for use on the go. Many details can be read well with them. Since you hold the magnifying glass at the desired distance from the object, you can read and examine details in a comfortable position.

In addition to conventional handheld magnifiers, there are also illuminated handheld magnifiers, which are especially helpful in unfavorable lighting conditions.

Most magnifying glasses have a magnification of 2x (4 diopters) up to 10x (36 diopters). A magnification of about 2x to 6x is referred to as a reading magnifier. Magnification beyond that is referred to as a detail magnifier, which is mostly used in professional and hobby contexts.
