These inexpensive magnifiers are ideal for students or training classes. Available in both 6x and 8x magnifications, both magnifiers feature a half-circle base and aspheric lenses. The significant advantage of an aspheric lens is the capability to use them to see gray tones better and, when looking at latent prints, this can be very important. The lightweight plastic body moves easily across a fingerprint card and it’s hard acrylic lens provides long life and distortion-free magnification. The wide 2.5625" opening at the base allows for easy use of ridge counters when performing comparisons or classifications. Both magnifiers are 2.5" tall.
